About this map

The boundary between Burt and Washington Counties divides this agricultural landscape, where a dense network of sectional roads connects isolated farmsteads across the Nebraska plains. This part of the state exhibits a distinctive drainage pattern defined by numerous small creeks, including Bell Creek and New York Creek, which carve gentle valleys through the terrain. The central focal point for local history is the New England Cem, situated near the intersection of several county routes. Water management is evident in the presence of man-made impoundments like Skinner Reservoir and Cameron Reservoir, which support the region's farming economy. The map reveals the precise grid system of the Great Plains, with roads like Co RD 4 and Co RD 15 forming the primary infrastructure for this rural community.
