2011 Map of Elm Creek SE

About this map

North Dry Creek meanders through this portion of Phelps County, highlighting a landscape defined by agricultural organization and water management. The southern edge of the quadrangle is anchored by the Phelps County Canal, a significant irrigation feature essential to the region's farming economy. The map reveals a strict grid of section roads, including R Rd and 739 Rd, which dictate the placement of rural homesteads and infrastructure. For those researching local heritage, the McGill Cemetery stands as a focal point for genealogical study in this prairie environment. Transportation is represented by both the established road network and the presence of Wells Airport near the southern boundary, showing the continued modernization of rural Nebraska in the early 21st century.
