About this map

The small settlement of Burton serves as the focal point of this rural Keya Paha County landscape, situated along the east-west corridor of Ne-12. This 2014 survey reveals a transition from the agricultural plateaus in the south toward the dissected drainage systems of the north. The winding Keya Paha River cuts across the northern border, where Leavens Bridge provides a vital crossing near the state line.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Burton Cem just east of the main town site, while water features like Eagles Nest Lake, Nilson Reservoir, and Burton Cr illustrate the importance of water management in this high plains environment. The map captures the quiet intersection of local roads like Vine St and 304th St against a backdrop of deep creek valleys including Buffalo Cr and Lute Cr.
