2011 Map of Buckeye Valley

About this map

Wood River winds across the southern reaches of this Buffalo County landscape, providing the primary drainage for the surrounding agricultural terrain. The map captures a section of Nebraska defined by a systematic grid of section-line roads, including the aptly named Pole Line Rd and Poole Rd, which organize the homesteads and farms of Buckeye Valley. Several water management features are prominent, such as Randall Reservoir and Rogers Reservoir, held by their respective landmarks, Randall Dam and Rogers Dam. These reservoirs, along with Cedar Creek and Sweet Creek, highlight the essential role of water control in this plains environment. In the southeast corner near the river, Riverside Cemetery stands as a significant point for genealogical research, anchoring the local history of the families that settled this valley.
