2017 Map of Closter SW

About this map

O'Neil Valley sits at the northwestern edge of this landscape, marking a localized settlement point within the high plains of Boone County. The area is defined by the winding course of Shell Cr, which cuts diagonally across the center of the terrain, eventually joined by tributaries such as N Shell Cr and Vorhees Cr. The map reveals a strictly regulated section-line road grid, characterized by routes like 180th Ave and 200th St, which facilitate access across the agricultural parcels. A notable aspect of the infrastructure is the designated Minimum Maintenance Rd, indicating segments of the rural network that remain less developed or seasonally restricted. This 2017 survey reflects the persistent pattern of large-scale farming and drainage management in Nebraska's interior, where the relationship between the prairie creeks and the township-range grid remains the dominant organizing force.
