About this map

The Frontier Co Gosper Co boundary line bisects this portion of rural Nebraska, defining a landscape shaped by agricultural water management and high plains drainage. The terrain is notably dissected by numerous draws and small canyons, many of which have been dammed to create essential water sources for the surrounding farms and ranches. These include Brockmeier Reservoir, Getty Reservoir, and the Fader-Stewart Reservoir. Smaller drainages like Elk Cr weave through the township sections, eventually feeding larger reservoirs or disappearing into the porous soils. The road network, consisting largely of gravel and dirt routes such as RD 737 and Middle Canyon E Rd, follows a strict section-line grid that only occasionally deviates for the deep cuts of the local topography. This map documents a modern snapshot of the enduring agricultural infrastructure in Gosper County.
