About this map

New England Cemetery stands as a quiet landmark within this expansive grid of agricultural roads in Washington County. The landscape is defined by its drainages, where the meandering course of Bell Creek and the southern flow of New York Creek cut through the sections. This rural layout, typical of the Nebraska plains, is interrupted by essential water management structures like Skinner Dam, which holds the waters of the Skinner Reservoir.

A network of local county roads, including Co RD 27 and Co RD D, connects the scattered farmsteads and agricultural plots. The map reveals the intricate water system of the region, featuring Summit Lake in the north and the smaller Cameron Reservoir to the south. These features, along with the numerous creeks like Carr Creek and Hill Creek, illustrate the vital role of water conservation and management in the farming economy of the early twenty-first century.
