About this map

E Br Muddy Cr and Elk Cr dominate this rural landscape in southwestern Nebraska, where a sophisticated network of private water management defines the local geography. Numerous named impoundments, including the Fader-Stewart Reservoir, Umberger Reservoir, and Gruber Reservoir, are scattered across the drainage basins, illustrating the critical role of water storage for agriculture in this portion of Gosper County. The terrain is marked by a complex system of local roads and drives, such as Road 742 and Road 739, which navigate the various forks of Elder Cr. These transportation routes provide access to the high ground between the creek valleys, connecting the region to larger arteries like Us-283 and Ne-23. The boundary between Frontier County and Gosper County runs along the western edge of the map, cutting through the headwaters of the local creek systems.
