About this map

The town of Edgar anchors the northern reaches of this Nebraska landscape, where a grid of rural roads connects the local agricultural community. To the south and east, the small settlements of Sedan and Angus sit near the border between Clay Co and Nuckolls Co, representing the quiet residential clusters typical of the plains. Local genealogy and history are anchored at the Edgar Cem, situated just south of the main town site.

The topography is defined by the winding course of the Little Blue River in the southwest corner and the dendritic drainage patterns of Big Sandy Cr and the S Fork Big Sandy Cr to the north. A network of artificial water bodies, including Mazour-Schroeder Reservoir, Drohman Reservoir, Jensen Reservoir, and Mountford Lake, illustrates the modern water management and irrigation systems essential to the region's productivity.
