2011 Map of Imperial Municipal Airport

About this map

Spring Creek meanders southeastward across this high plains landscape in Chase County, providing a natural drainage pattern that breaks the geometric precision of the regional road grid. This agricultural sector of southwestern Nebraska is defined by a rigid section-line system of avenues and roads, including 335 Ave and 737 Rd. The landscape's primary modern hub is the Imperial Municipal Airport, located in the southwestern corner. The map reveals the relationship between the natural watercourse of the creek and the human-imposed boundary lines that define property and transit in this rural environment. Researchers can trace the path of numerous county routes like 744 Rd and 334 Ave as they navigate the subtle topography of the creek basin.
