2014 Map of Elsie NW

About this map

Red Willow Creek meanders through this portion of Perkins County, defining a landscape marked by a rhythmic network of section roads and agricultural development. This region of the Nebraska panhandle highlights the integration of aviation into rural life, evidenced by the presence of private facilities like Holzfaster's Airport in the north and Jantzen Airport to the southwest. The terrain is structured by a rigorous grid system, with major local routes such as Elsie Paxton Rd and Paxton-Elsie Rd providing the primary connectivity between the expansive farmsteads. These surveyed lines, including Road 770 and Road 764, reflect the enduring Homestead Act patterns that shaped the Great Plains, where every mile represents a deliberate division of the prairie for cultivation and settlement.
