2021 Map of Gibbon North

About this map

Gibbon sits along the southern edge of this Buffalo County landscape, where the agricultural plains meet the winding path of the Wood River. The terrain north of the settlement is defined by a dense network of sectional roads, including Gibbon Rd, Sodtown Rd, and Pawnee Rd, which organize the rolling hills and drainage basins of the Platte River valley. Water management is a central feature of this rural area, evidenced by the Rhoadarmer Reservoir and Box Elder Cr Reservoir 5-A, which capture runoff from the intermittent creek beds. In the northern reaches, Prairie Cr meanders through the breaks below Pole Line Rd, illustrating the transition from the river bottomlands to the upland prairie. The grid-like precision of these roads and reservoirs reflects a deeply managed agricultural environment, essential for farming in central Nebraska.
