2021 Map of Fairfield SE

About this map

The Little Blue River winds through this section of the Nebraska plains, creating a riparian corridor that breaks the grid of agricultural land and section roads. This 2021 landscape across Clay Co and Nuckolls Co is defined by a sophisticated system of water management, visible in the numerous reservoirs scattered throughout the townships. Local heritage is preserved in quiet landmarks such as Pleasant Hill Cem, Smith Cem, and Oxbow Cem, which serve as anchors for the rural communities. The drainage network, featuring Walnut Cr, Buffalo Cr, and Oxbow Cr, directs the flow toward the main river valley, while named impoundments like Jones Reservoir and Whithorn-Brown Reservoir illustrate the modern agricultural engineering required to sustain this productive prairie environment.
