2011 Map of Clarkson SW

About this map

Shell Creek meanders across the southern reaches of this landscape, defining the local drainage patterns alongside Taylor Creek and the South Fork Dry Creek. This Colfax County area is structured by a rigorous section-line road grid, where local routes like Road I and Road 7 navigate the prairie terrain. The map documents modern water management through the presence of the Ternes Reservoir in the northeast and the Bur Oak Reservoir to the south, both of which are supported by their respective engineering works, Ternes Dam and Bur Oak Dam. These features illustrate the intersection of agricultural land use and watershed control in rural Nebraska at the start of the 2010s.
