About this map

Muddy Creek meanders through this portion of Frontier County, Nebraska, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and canyon lands including Horseshoe Canyon and East Muddy Creek. This 1970 field-checked survey was produced as part of the Department of the Interior's program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, documenting a landscape primarily organized by township and range divisions. The map reveals a sparse, rural settlement pattern typical of the era, with land use largely centered on ranching or agriculture as evidenced by numerous wells scattered across the uplands.

Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Wilkins Cem in the Clearwater precinct. The map identifies several historical land divisions and local precincts such as Plum Creek, Fairview, and Logan, providing a look at the rural geography before modern consolidation. Natural water sources like German Creek, Elder Creek, and a designated Spring highlight the essential resources for this plains environment.
