2011 Map of North of Oliver Reservoir

About this map

The High Plains of Kimball County are defined here by a systematic grid of section-line roads and the intermittent drainage patterns typical of Nebraska's western reaches. The most prominent structural landmark is the Lukassen Dam in the southeast, situated near a complex of dry creek beds and agricultural pathways. The landscape is primarily organized by a series of named county roads, including Co Rd-23 and Co Rd-27 running north-south, intersected by latitudinal routes such as Road 48 and Co Rd-44. This network reflects the region's enduring reliance on large-scale ranching and farming, where the placement of dams and local transport routes are vital to the management of this arid environment. The map captures the quiet, expansive character of the rural Nebraska panhandle in the early twenty-first century.
