2021 Map of Eddyville SW

About this map

Wood River winds through the dissected plains of central Nebraska, tracing a path across the border between Custer and Dawson Counties. The landscape is defined by its agricultural infrastructure, specifically a sequence of water management features including Dawson Company Road Dam Reservoir Number 3, Number 4, Number 6, and Dawson Company Road Dam Reservoir Number 7. These reservoirs and the surrounding drainage network, including the unusually named Winn Swamp, reflect the intensive land use required for high-plains farming. Near the southeastern corner, the settlement of Eddyville serves as a local anchor, positioned where the section roads converge. This map captures the modern township and range layout of T13N R21W and T12N R20W, illustrating how the grid system of RD 773 and DR 436 interacts with the natural hydrology of the Platte River watershed.
