2017 Map of Meek

About this map

Eagle Creek winds through the dissected plains of Holt County, creating a complex drainage network that defines the local topography. This 2017 survey shows the sparse settlement patterns typical of the Nebraska Sandhills periphery, anchored by the small communities of Meek and Midway. The land is divided by a rigorous grid of section lines and rural routes, such as 891st Rd and Oil Co Rd, reflecting the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System. Numerous smaller tributaries, including Honey Cr, Oak Cr, and Camp Cr, have carved deep draws into the landscape. This modern digital record allows researchers to trace the permanence of these remote settlements and their relationship to the seasonal waterways that sustain the region's agricultural and ranching heritage.
