2014 Map of Elsie

About this map

Elsie occupies the northeastern portion of this Perkins County landscape, situated along a primary transportation corridor that includes the Paxton-Elsie Rd and McCullough Ave. The surrounding terrain is characterized by the agricultural patterns of the Nebraska plains, defined by a rigid grid of local routes like Road 760 and Road 341. Water management is a visible priority in this environment, evidenced by Schack Reservoir Number 1 and Schack Reservoir Number 2 north of the main settlement. To the southwest, the drainage of Stinking Water Cr meanders through the section lines, providing a natural break in the geometric land divisions. The map reveals the relationship between the concentrated village center and the expansive network of section roads that support the region's rural economy.
