About this map

Antelope and Boone Counties meet in this agricultural landscape of the Nebraska sandhills region. The map captures a moment of modern land use defined by the township and range survey system, visible in the precise grid of section lines and county roads such as North St and 190th Ave. Water management is central to this prairie environment, anchored by the Stoltz Reservoir in the central portion of the sheet. Natural drainage is primarily defined by the winding paths of Beaver Creek in the southwest and Rae Cr in the southeast. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and water resources that sustain the region's farming and ranching operations, showing how the land has been partitioned and developed since the original homesteading era.
