2011 Map of Mascot

About this map

The small settlement of Mascot sits as a quiet focal point in this agricultural landscape of Harlan and Furnas Counties. The terrain is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Spring Creek, Elm Creek, and Deep Creek, which flow southward toward the Republican River valley. This 2011 survey captures a rural environment where land management is reflected in water infrastructure, specifically through features like the Lueking Reservoir and Drake Reservoir. The Cambridge Canal skims the southwestern corner, indicating the importance of irrigation and water control to the local economy. For those researching local heritage, the Oxford Cemetery stands as a primary genealogical landmark near the western edge of the quadrangle. The grid of section roads, including Spring Grove Rd and various numbered routes like 724 Rd, organizes the vast prairie into a strictly partitioned system typical of the High Plains.
