2017 Map of Clarkson SW

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Colfax County is defined by the winding course of Shell Creek and its various tributaries that carve through the Nebraska plains. This 2017 survey details a highly organized section of the Public Land Survey System, where a grid of rural roads such as Co RD P and Co RD J facilitate access to the surrounding farmsteads and fields. Water management is a central feature of the local topography, highlighted by the presence of Bur Oak Reservoir and Ternes Reservoir. These man-made features, alongside smaller streams like Taylor Cr and S Fork Dry Cr, illustrate the essential relationship between the local geography and the agricultural economy of the region. The map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, including t18n r2e and t19n r3e, which remain foundational to property and local history in this part of the state.
