2014 Map of Mount Clare

About this map

Mount Clare sits at the center of this rural Nuckolls County landscape, where the agricultural grid of the Great Plains is defined by a series of numbered and lettered section roads. The terrain is deeply carved by watercourses, most notably Cottonwood Cr, Middle Cr, and Elk Cr, which create the undulating topography characteristic of this part of southern Nebraska. A significant number of private impoundments dot the drainage basins, including Hoelting Reservoir, Buschkoetter Reservoir, and Childress Reservoir, reflecting the vital role of water management in this farming and ranching district. For those researching local roots, the Beulah Cem stands as a primary genealogical landmark along Road 2900, south of the main settlement. The distribution of these reservoirs and the persistence of the original township road system provide a clear view of land use and property boundaries in the early 21st century.
