About this map

The Keya Paha River defines the southern portion of this Nebraska landscape, where the settlements of Jamison and Brocksburg anchor a rural region along the South Dakota border. Located in Keya Paha County, this territory is characterized by a high concentration of water management features, including Hitchcock Reservoir, Richardson Reservoir, and Peterson Reservoir. These man-made structures highlight the importance of water storage in this northern plains environment, where small drainages like Spotted Tail Cr and Alkali Cr feed into the primary river valley.

Local history and genealogy are preserved at sites like Immanuel Cem and Spotted Tail Cem, which sit alongside established rural routes such as 908 RD and 462 Ave. The presence of Burkinshaw Field and numerous smaller reservoirs like Beck Reservoir suggests a landscape shaped by local landholding and agricultural needs. The map also delineates the precise boundaries between Gregory County, Boyd County, and Keya Paha County, marking a transitional corner where state lines and county jurisdictions meet.
