About this map

The village of Denton sits at the northern edge of this 2011 survey, a small rural hub in Lancaster County defined by its relationship to the shifting prairie waterways and drainage basins. This area south of Lincoln is characterized by an extensive network of flood control structures and recreational waters, including the sprawling Bluestem Lake and Yankee Hill Lake. These reservoirs are fed by a complex system of creeks like Haines Branch, Cardwell Branch, and Wirtstruck Creek, which carve through the grid of section roads.

Local history is preserved in sites such as Wesley Chapel Cemetery and Highland Cemetery, while the small settlement of Martell anchors the southeastern corner. The landscape reflects a mix of traditional agriculture and modern aviation at Brusnahan Airport, tied together by the rectilinear layout of routes like W Denton Rd and W Martell Rd. Researchers will find a clear record of the region's managed water systems, marked by numerous impoundments including Salt Creek Reservoir 23-B and Brandt Reservoir.
