2017 Map of Friend SE

About this map

The agrarian landscape along the boundary of Saline and Fillmore Counties is defined by a grid of rural section roads and the winding drainage of Turkey Creek. This 2017 survey reveals the importance of water management in the region, featuring several man-made catchments including Weber Reservoir, Bruntz Reservoir, and the Swan Creek Reservoir 5-C in the southeastern corner. These reservoirs support the surrounding agricultural operations that dominate the terrain. For those researching family history in the area, the map precisely locates the Applegate Cem north of Co RD K, providing a specific geographic anchor for local genealogy. The drainage patterns of the N Fork Swan Cr and Dry Br illustrate the natural topography that directs the flow toward the Swan Creek basin, even as the landscape is strictly partitioned by the county line and the township-and-range surveying system.
