About this map

W Muddy Cr and its tributaries carve a complex drainage system through the loess hills of eastern Frontier County. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape primarily dedicated to agriculture and water management, evidenced by numerous named catchment basins such as Hess Reservoir, Klein Reservoir, and Schurr Reservoir Number 2. The irregular topography of Deer Creek Canyon dominates the southwestern portion of the sheet, providing a stark contrast to the more uniform section-line road grid that defines the upland areas.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the preservation of rural markers like Independence Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem, which sit alongside historic routes such as Ne-18 and 407th RD. These features, along with the meandering course of Deer Cr, illustrate how early 21st-century land use in Nebraska continues to balance the natural contours of the plains with a rigid township and range surveying system.
