About this map

Agricultural lands in Phelps County surround the village of Bertrand, which sits at the western edge of this 2021 survey. The landscape is defined by a grid-like network of rural roads, including A Rd and 738 Rd, which follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System through Townships such as t7n r20w. This layout reflects the enduring homesteading patterns of the Nebraska plains, where the land is strictly partitioned for cultivation and transport.

In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, the Johnson Reservoir provides a critical water source for the region's irrigation needs. Near the center of the sheet, the Sandstrom Cem remains as a quiet landmark of the area's early settlers, situated along 743 Rd. The presence of numerous wetlands and small catchments throughout the southern sections, particularly near 739 Rd, illustrates the delicate hydrology of the Platte River valley watershed.
