2021 Map of Franklin NE

About this map

Bartels Reservoir and the headwaters of the Thompson Creek drainage system define this agricultural landscape in Franklin. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line road network, including routes like K Rd and 37 Rd, which partition the undulating terrain of the Republican River valley uplands. Water is the primary geographic driver here, with Middle Br Thompson Cr, W Br Thompson Cr, and E Br Thompson Cr converging as they flow southward. The presence of Sassacus Cr in the southeast corner further emphasizes the importance of these small draws and tributaries to the local drainage and land use patterns.
