About this map

Clatonia sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Gage County, anchored by the Clatonia Post Office. The surrounding terrain is defined by a sophisticated system of water management, evidenced by numerous dams and reservoirs including Clatonia Creek Reservoir 7-A and the Indian Creek Reservoir 3-A. This network of artificial impoundments along Clatonia Creek, Soap Creek, and Snake Creek illustrates the modern engineering used to manage the prairie watersheds for irrigation and flood control.

Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Highland Center Cemetery to the northeast and Rose Hill Cemetery to the southwest. The rural road grid, including W Ash Rd and W Pickrell Rd, connects these scattered landmarks across the rolling Nebraska plains. The map also traces smaller tributaries like Possum Creek and captures the presence of the Little Indian Creek Reservoir 15 in the southeastern quadrant.
