About this map

Dawson Co Buffalo Co line bisects this agricultural landscape in Nebraska, where a grid of rural roads defines the movement of water and commerce. The southwestern portion is dominated by the Dawson County Canal, a critical piece of water infrastructure for the region. The terrain is deeply carved by several drainages, most notably the meandering course of Turkey Creek and its namesake Turkey Creek Rd in the east, alongside Cherry Valley Cr and Bell Cr further west. This 2017 survey reveals the persistent section-line road network common to the Great Plains, featuring routes like Midway Rd and the aptly named Pole Line Rd. The map illustrates how local topography and water management systems like Elm Cr continue to shape the rural development and land use patterns at the border of Dawson and Buffalo counties.
