About this map

Medicine Creek Reservoir 370 anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape in rural Frontier County, where a network of dams and reservoirs manages the drainage of the High Plains. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Medicine Creek, Cedar Creek, and Spring Creek, which cut through the Nebraska prairie towards the Republican River basin. Settlement patterns here are reflected in the distributed legacy of rural education, with several numbered school sites such as School Number 75, School Number 82, and School Number 78 positioned throughout the township grid. Near the southern edge, the Lone Tree Cemetery serves as a quiet landmark for local family history. This 2011 survey documents a highly managed water system, featuring several land-use structures like the NE School Land Dam and Gilliland Dam Number 1 that support the region's agricultural character.
