About this map

The headwaters of Big Papillion Cr dominate this landscape north of the Washington and Douglas County line. This region is defined by a dense network of tributaries, including Butter Flat Cr and Falls Br, which carve through the agricultural uplands. The settlement of Kennard serves as a local hub in the northern section, while the southern edge of the map shows the expansion of Bennington near the shores of Newport Landing Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial sites that anchor the community's history, such as Kennard Cem, Prairie View Cem, and German Cem. The map illustrates a transitional landscape where traditional section roads like Co RD 36 and Co RD 40 meet newer developments such as Spring Ridge Loop and Crest Ridge Loop. This contrast highlights the evolving land use as residential clusters begin to appear alongside established farmsteads and water management features like Papillion Cr Reservoir W-4.
