2017 Map of Eddyville SW

About this map

Wood River meanders southeastward across this Nebraska landscape, defining the topography of the transition between Custer and Dawson counties. The village of Eddyville sits near the southeastern corner, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural section lines and rural road networks like RD 771. The terrain is marked by a series of water management features, specifically the Dawson Company Road Dam Reservoir Number 4 and several related numbered reservoirs which indicate a heavily managed hydrological system designed for local irrigation or flood control. To the northeast, the isolated Warn Swamp provides a distinct break from the otherwise uniform drainage patterns of the river valley. The grid-like arrangement of roads such as RD 774 follows the established Public Land Survey System township and range lines, illustrating the systematic division of this central Nebraska prairie for homesteading and development.
