About this map

Lincoln Creek meanders through this agricultural landscape in York County, defining the drainage patterns that shaped local development. The settlement of Bradshaw is situated in the southeastern corner, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural sections. The importance of water management in this part of the plains is evident through a series of named water bodies and their associated infrastructure, including Stuhr Reservoir, Driewer Reservoir, and Rech-Smith Reservoir. These reservoirs, managed by structures like the Lundell Dam and Rech-Smith Dam, illustrate the 21st-century irrigation and conservation practices of the region. For those researching local family history, the Plainfield Cemetery remains a significant landmark near the center of the survey area, while the rigid grid of rural roads such as Road A and E 21 Rd reflects the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on Nebraska's geography.
