About this map

Glenvil anchors the northwestern corner of this Clay County landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by a rigorous network of section roads. The terrain is shaped by the winding course of the Little Blue River in the south and Big Sandy Cr to the north, creating a contrast between the flat upland plains and the more complex topography near the riverbanks. The map reveals a regional reliance on water management, evidenced by several named catchments including the Nejezchleb Reservoir, Lambie Reservoir, and Lipovsky Reservoir.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise locations of rural burial grounds, specifically Anandale Cem near the small settlement of Anan and Saint Aloysius Cem in the southeastern quadrant. These sites, along with the drainage patterns of Pawnee Cr and Oak Cr, provide a clear picture of the rural infrastructure and community markers in this part of Nebraska during the early twenty-first century.
