About this map

Harbine and Ellis anchor this rural landscape in southeastern Nebraska, where the county line between Jefferson County and Gage County divides the agricultural grid. This modern survey illustrates a terrain defined by water management and conservation, featuring numerous reservoirs including Cub Creek Reservoir 8-B and Big Indian Creek Reservoir 17-B. These engineered water bodies punctuate the drainages of Cub Creek and Big Indian Creek, which feed into the wider basin of the Little Blue River watershed.

Local history is preserved in several rural sites, such as Hope Church and its accompanying Hope Church Cemetery. Genealogists will find interest in the scattered burial grounds that served early farming families, including Harbine Cemetery, Ellis Cemetery, and Prairie Home Cemetery. The map detail shows the precise locations of section roads and rural intersections that have supported the local grain economy for generations.
