About this map

The low-lying settlement of Josselyn sits in the southwestern corner of this landscape, positioned where the flat bottomlands of the Platte River valley meet the rising dissected hills of Dawson County. This 2021 survey reveals a complex network of upland water management, characterized by numerous small basins such as Hammond Reservoir, Beatty Reservoir, and Cloatre Reservoir. These features, alongside Hubbard Reservoir and Freeburg Reservoir to the east, suggest a highly modified agricultural environment designed to capture and hold runoff within the rolling terrain. Drainage follows the natural contours through Buffalo Cr and Elm Cr, while a rigid grid of rural roads including Lincoln St and various numbered routes like RD 754 and RD 440 provides access across the section lines. The map captures the intersection of natural Nebraska hydrology and the enduring Public Land Survey System that organizes the local geography.
