About this map

David City anchors the northwestern corner of this Butler County landscape, where the transition from municipal infrastructure to broad agricultural sections is clearly defined. The area is marked by a sophisticated grid of rural roads, including Road N and Rd 34, which connect outlying landmarks like Saint Marys Cem and the David City Municipal Airport. To the east, the village of Brainard sits near the headwaters of Plum Cr, illustrating the typical Nebraska pattern of small-town settlement situated near local drainage systems.

The hydrology of the region is dominated by winding waterways such as Kezan Cr and Bone Cr, which cut through the terrain between the meticulously planned section lines. Private aviation is a notable feature of the local economy and transport, evidenced by the presence of Stava Airport in the eastern half of the survey. The inclusion of the Vandenburg Reservoir provides insight into local water management and land use within this agricultural heartland.
