2011 Map of Champion

About this map

Frenchman Creek meanders through this portion of Chase County, Nebraska, serving as the central hydrological feature for a landscape defined by agricultural water management. The settlement of Champion is positioned on the western edge of the sheet, featuring the Champion Post Office and providing a focal point for the surrounding rural section lines. Water infrastructure is prominent along the creek's path, notably at Imperial Reservoir, which is held by the Imperial Dam, and further downstream at Hoffmeister Reservoir and Hoffmeister Dam. The terrain is characterized by draws and intermittent drainage, including the Sand Draw and Foerster Branch, which cut through the high plains toward the river valley. A rigid grid of county roads and State Hwy 15 A facilitates transport across this productive western Nebraska landscape.
