About this map

Liberty sits at the heart of this landscape in southern Gage County, where the plains of Nebraska meet the Kansas border. This modern survey illustrates a high-density water management system, defined by dozens of numbered catchments like Plum Cr Reservoir 3-D and Mission Cr Reservoir 6-A. These artificial reservoirs are integrated into the headwaters of Plum Creek and Mission Creek, reflecting the region's intensive agricultural conservation efforts.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites clearly marked, including Liberty Cemetery west of the township and the more isolated Tanner Cemetery and Mission Creek Cemetery to the southeast. The survey also identifies the Thomas Airport, a small grass strip north of the town center, and traces the section-line road network that defines the rural character of the Nebraska-Kansas state line area.
