2014 Map of McCook SE

About this map

Fairview Cem and Pleasant Prairie Cem anchor this 2014 survey of the rural landscape where southwest Nebraska meets the Kansas border. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Beaver Cr and its tributaries, including Brushy Cr, which cut through the high plains north of the state line. This modern topographic study shows the distribution of agricultural water resources like Nothnagel Reservoir Number 1 and Shields Reservoir, which are vital in this arid region. The transportation network is centered on the north-south corridor of Us-83, intersecting with Ne-89 as the road network transitions from the Nebraska section of Red Willow County into Decatur County, Kansas. The map provides a detailed view of the section-line road system that organizes the vast agricultural tracts of the Great Plains.
