About this map

Redbird Creek and the meandering branches of Louse Creek define the hydrology of this Holt County landscape. The map shows a rural area structured by a strict section-line road network, including routes like 887th Rd and Twp Rd. Water management is central to the land use here, evidenced by engineered features such as Witt Reservoir Number 1, held by Witt Dam Number 1, and Becker Reservoir Number 2 further south. These small-scale impoundments on local drainages like West Branch Louse Creek and East Branch Louse Creek suggest a reliance on managed water resources for agriculture or local livestock in a region characterized by its expansive prairie drainages, including Red Otter Creek and Sand Creek.
