2011 Map of Loma

About this map

The agrarian landscape of eastern Butler County is defined by a sophisticated system of watershed management, centered on the small settlements of Loma and the eastern edge of Brainard. This survey illustrates a network of engineered water bodies, including several components of the Oak Creek drainage such as North Oak Creek Reservoir 6-A and North Oak Creek Reservoir 5-F. These reservoirs, supported by structures like Ptacek Dam, reflect the mid-to-late 20th-century emphasis on flood control and irrigation in the Nebraska plains.
