2017 Map of Closter NE

About this map

The agricultural divide of the Nebraska plains is clearly defined here at the convergence of Madison, Antelope, and Boone counties. This section of the Great Plains is dominated by the sprawling drainage basins of Buffalo Cr and Giles Cr, which carve subtle topography through the strictly partitioned landscape. The map illustrates the precision of the Public Land Survey System, where a rigid grid of section lines—marked by routes like 835th Rd and 535th Ave—imposes order over the natural meandering of waterways. State Hwy 45 serves as a primary north-south artery, tracking along the Madison County line. Local transit history is visible in the network of unpaved paths, including a designated Minimum Maintenance Rd, highlighting the functional nature of rural infrastructure in this central Nebraska farming region during the early twenty-first century.
