About this map

Lone Tree Creek and Messenger Creek dominate this corner of Dawes County, flowing through a landscape defined by ranching and water management. The area is marked by significant hydrological landmarks such as the Lone Tree Reservoir, held by the Lone Tree Dam, and the Bauer Reservoir to the north, which is secured by the Bauer Dam. This network of seasonal and permanent water sources reflects the vital importance of water storage in Nebraska’s high plains.

Transportation in this section of the county is facilitated by a grid of rural routes including N Wayside Rd and Lone Tree Rd. The map also traces the paths of several other local waterways, including Fisher Creek, Peterson Creek, and Middle Creek. The spatial arrangement of these named reservoirs and dams provides a clear picture of the water infrastructure supporting the namesake ranch lands during the early 21st century.
