About this map

The village of Crab Orchard serves as the focal point of this Johnson County landscape, situated where Yankee Cr flows through the central terrain. This area is characterized by a high density of water management features, including Mud Cr Reservoir 2-D, Mud Cr Reservoir 2-F, and Mud Cr Reservoir 2-H along the course of Mud Cr. These reservoirs suggest a landscape heavily modified for local agricultural stability and flood control.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered at the Crab Orchard Cem and the local Po in the village. The surrounding countryside is a network of named drainages like Laffins Br, Lost Br, and Turkey Cr, which define the drainage patterns across the Gage and Pawnee county lines. A structured grid of secondary roads like Lewiston Rd and Sterling Rd provides access to these rural tracts and the various branches of the creek system.
