2011 Map of Eli

About this map

The small settlement of Eli anchors this western landscape near the border of Nebraska and South Dakota. In the early 21st century, the area is defined by its scattered water bodies and prairie terrain, where seasonal drainages and isolated basins like Winslow Lake, Nelson Lake, and Clubhouse Lake punctuate the northern sections of the survey. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the winding course of Bear Creek, which meanders through the wide, open expanse of Connely Flat. Local infrastructure remains sparse, characterized primarily by north-south township roads and Swan Rd cutting through the northwestern hills. This geography suggests a ranching or agricultural economy where land use is dictated by the availability of water and the flat topography of the creek basin.
