About this map

Freedom anchors this portion of Frontier County, situated within a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and canyons. The geography is dominated by the flow of Medicine Cr and the presence of Harry Strunk Lake, alongside numerous specialized water management features like Medicine Cr Reservoir 160 and Zysset Reservoir. These reservoirs suggest a managed agricultural environment, where water security is paramount to the local economy.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Prairie Land Cem and Gammill Cem, providing points of connection to early area families. The terrain itself is deeply etched by Mitchell Creek Canyon and Stevenson Canyon, while named trails such as Trail 5 and Trail 7 trace the high ground between drainages like Lime Cr and Shelly Cr. This map documents a modern snapshot of rural Nebraska's intersection between natural topography and engineered water systems.
