2014 Map of Mascot

About this map

Mascot and the eastern edge of Oxford anchor this rural landscape along the border of Phelps and Harlan counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages including Spring Creek, Deep Creek, and Elm Creek, which carve through the agricultural tablelands of south-central Nebraska. Modern water management is evident through the presence of the Cambridge Canal in the southwest and established catchments like Lucking Reservoir and Drake Reservoir. This survey highlights the intersection of local history and infrastructure, preserving the location of family and community landmarks such as Spring Grove Cemetery and Oxford Cemetery. The road network, primarily organized on a section-line grid, is bisected by the prominent diagonal route of Us-34, which serves as a primary artery connecting these high-plains settlements.
