About this map

The Little Blue River cuts a winding path through this portion of Nuckolls County, defining a landscape marked by small agricultural hubs and a network of named watercourses. The settlement of Oak sits near the northern bank of the river, connected to surrounding farmsteads by Road St and the Ne-65a-Spur. Further south, the community of Nora is situated along Us-136, serving as a central point for local landmarks such as Nora Cem and nearby Frahm Reservoir.

Tracing the drainage patterns reveals a system of creeks and man-made impoundments essential to the local economy. Tributaries like Turtle Cr, Thawes Cr, and Spring Cr feed into the larger river system, while private water management is evident in features like Scroggin Reservoir and Biltoft Reservoir. The southeastern corner is anchored by the village of Ruskin, where the grid of Road 4500 and Road 4600 intersects with the plains, leading toward the Spring Creek Cem.
