2011 Map of Elsie

About this map

Elsie serves as the primary hub in this Perkins County landscape, situated along the east-west rail line that bisects the northern half of the region. The map details the small-town infrastructure of the early 21st century, centered around the Elsie Post Office and its proximity to Paxton-Elsie Rd. South of the settlement, the terrain is defined by the winding course of Stinking Water Creek, which meanders through the sectioned agricultural fields. Water management is a visible priority in this High Plains environment, evidenced by the infrastructure at Schack Dam Number 1 and Schack Dam Number 2 located just northwest of the town site. The grid system of roads and property boundaries reflects the systematic agricultural development of western Nebraska, where modern ranching and farming operations rely on these intermittent water sources and established transportation corridors.
