2014 Map of Eddyville SW

About this map

Wood River meanders southeast across this portion of the Nebraska loess hills, following a path mirrored by Ne-40. The landscape is defined by the agricultural water management of the early twenty-first century, specifically the series of reservoirs maintained by the Dawson County infrastructure. These include Dawson Company Road Dam Reservoir Number 6 and Dawson Company Road Dam Reservoir Number 7, which sit alongside Road 771 near the southern boundary. The small settlement of Eddyville occupies the southeastern corner of the map at the junction of state highways, where Ne-21 meets the river valley. The grid of section-line roads, such as Road 774 and Road 435, highlights the precise township-and-range surveying that continues to govern the rural geography between the Custer and Dawson county lines.
