About this map

The Elkhorn River defines the central topography of this Stanton County landscape, its meandering course flanked by oxbow formations like Johnson Lake, Loves Lake, and Pillar Lake. The river's path is paralleled by the Upper Elkhorn River Trl and crossed by a network of rural roads such as River Rd and Veterans Ave, reflecting the region’s long-standing agricultural grid. For local historians, several family and community burial grounds are documented along the higher ground above the river valley, including Pleasant Run Cem in the north and both Belz Cem and Zilmer Cem to the east. Tributaries like Union Cr and Sand Cr feed into the broader drainage system, while the Greuson Reservoir and Lehman Lake mark significant water management and recreation points in this corner of Nebraska.
