About this map

Scottville Cemetery stands as a primary historical landmark in this section of Holt County, situated amidst a landscape defined by an extensive network of creeks and small-scale water management. The terrain is intricately carved by Redbird Creek, Spring Creek, and Blackbird Creek, which flow through a rural environment where land use is closely tied to water access.

The distribution of private water works, including Becker Reservoir Number 1 and Pinkerman Reservoir Number 1, indicates a sophisticated system of earthen dams such as Asimus Dam and Young Dam. These features illustrate the local necessity for water storage in this Nebraska prairie region, with family names attached to nearly every reservoir and dam, providing a clear footprint of generational land ownership and agricultural development in the early 21st century.
