About this map

Curtis and Maywood serve as the primary hubs in this western Nebraska landscape, where the deeply eroded drainage systems of Medicine Cr and Brushy Cr define the local geography. The map reveals a transition between upland plateaus and a series of prominent ravines, including Well Canyon, Aakenson Canyon, and Staples Canyon. Local history and institutional foundations are evident in the presence of the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture and the Curtis Cem on the eastern edge of the survey.

A network of county roads such as Wells Rd and Fox Creek Rd connects isolated farmsteads across the Lincoln and Frontier county line. The hydrology of the area is further marked by the Cole Reservoir, which sits near the convergence of the canyons. This 21st-century record documents the specialized agricultural focus of the region and the persistent township and range boundaries of t8n r28w and surrounding sections.
