2011 Map of Howe Creek

About this map

Howe Creek meanders through this portion of Knox County, defining a rural landscape shaped by an extensive network of secondary roads and section-line routes. The drainage pattern is characterized by several small tributaries and the prominent Walker Draw, which dissects the terrain south of the central creek bed. This 2011 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey captures the modern configuration of the Nebraska countryside, where large-scale agriculture is served by a precise grid of roads including 891 Rd and 887 Rd. The map illustrates the persistent structure of the Great Plains' rural township system, reflecting a landscape where development is focused on transportation infrastructure and water management.
