About this map

Agricultural lands of Butler County define this prairie landscape, where the village of Bellwood stands in the northwest and the western edge of David City anchors the southeast corner. The drainage of Deer Creek is managed by an extensive network of earthen works, including Birkel Dam and numerous detention structures such as Detention Dam 5-H and Detention Dam 6-F. These projects created a series of water bodies, notably Birkel Reservoir and the numbered Bellwood reservoirs, which dominate the central terrain.

Rural infrastructure is marked by the Saints Peter and Mary Cemetery and a rigid grid of country roads like 40 RD. In David City, the Butler County Fairgrounds represent a focal point for the local community, while the Bellwood Post Office and David City Post Office remain vital civic anchors. This survey documents the modernization of Nebraska's Platte Valley periphery, balancing established settlements with contemporary water management systems.
