2014 Map of Closter NE

About this map

The tri-county intersection of Madison, Boone, and Antelope counties defines this rural landscape in the northeast corner of Nebraska. The terrain is characterized by a series of north-south flowing drainages, including the meandering Buffalo Cr and Giles Cr, which cut through the agricultural highlands. This 2014 survey documents a strictly rectilinear grid of section-line roads, such as 839th Rd and 535th Ave, that have persisted as the primary means of navigation through the hills. State highway Ne-45 serves as the central north-south corridor, following the county line and providing a link between the scattered farmsteads. The map is a precise record of late-modern rural land division, where the natural paths of Dry Cr and Deer Cr provide the only variation in an otherwise orderly surveyors' grid.
