About this map

Turkey Creek and its various tributaries define the drainage patterns of this rural Saline County landscape. The terrain is deeply incised by Spring Cr and Dry Br, revealing a complex network of draws and ridges characteristic of the eastern Nebraska plains. This 2021 study documents a region of high local history value, marked by long-standing rural burial grounds including Gilbert Cem in the north and Monroe Cem to the west.

Modern water management is evident through the inclusion of the Rezabek Reservoir and the larger Swan Cr Reservoir 6-C near the southern boundary. These man-made features, alongside the N Fork Swan Cr, illustrate the ongoing modifications to the local hydrology. The area remains structured by a systematic grid of county roads, such as Co RD 1000 and Co RD 1100, which provide access to the dispersed agricultural homesteads and sections that make up the county's social fabric.
