About this map

Oak Creek and its southern tributaries define the topography of this rural landscape in Buffalo County. The map details a strictly organized agricultural grid, where section-line roads such as Sartoria Rd and Riverdale Rd intersect across the plains. A central geographic feature is the Unick Reservoir, held by the Unick Dam, which serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding farmland.

The drainage network is intricately mapped, following the paths of Dry Creek, Swenson Creek, and Spring Branch. These waterways carve subtle paths through the terrain, flanked by local routes like Dove Hill Rd and Pleasant Valley Rd. This survey reflects the enduring character of central Nebraska's ranching and farming country, where land use is dictated by the availability of water and the accessibility of a well-maintained road network.
