About this map

The southeastern outskirts of Lincoln meet the rolling prairie of Lancaster County, where the landscape is defined by an extensive network of flood control and recreation reservoirs. Notable among these are Wagon Train Lake, Pine Lake, and several numbered basins such as Salt Cr Reservoir 19-B and Salt Cr Reservoir 8-A. The rural character of the area is anchored by the small community of Bennet to the east and the northern edge of Hickman to the south.

Tracing the headwaters of the Little Nemaha River and tributaries like Hooper Cr, the map illustrates a transition from suburban development near the city to traditional agricultural sections. Local history is marked by the presence of Cheney Cem near Yankee Hill Rd, while modern landmarks like Kuhn Reservoir and Harlan Reservoir reflect the region's managed water systems. The regular grid of country roads, including Saltillo Rd and Rokeby Rd, provides a clear view of how land ownership and transportation have evolved in this part of Nebraska.
