2017 Map of Filley

About this map

Filley serves as the central hub of this Gage County landscape, where the intersection of S 134 Rd and Sargent Rd marks the heart of the village. The surrounding terrain is defined by an intricate network of watershed management features, including Bear Creek Reservoir 7-D, Cedar Creek Reservoir 9-A, and Mud Creek Reservoir 5-A. These reservoirs sit amidst a strictly organized section-line road grid, where family names and local history are preserved at sites like Zion Cem and Filley Cem. To the southwest, the small settlement of Rockford sits near the banks of Mud Creek, illustrating the traditional placement of early Nebraska communities near reliable water sources. The map captures a transition toward modern land management through its numerous named reservoirs along Bear Cr and Cedar Cr.
