2014 Map of Oakland

About this map

Oakland sits as the primary hub in this corner of Burt County, where the street grid is clearly defined by routes like N Logan Ave and W Fulton St. The landscape is dominated by the complex hydrology of the Logan Creek valley, showing both the straightened Logan Creek Dredge and the winding remnants of the Old Channel Logan Creek. This juxtaposition illustrates decades of water management and drainage efforts intended to reclaim the fertile bottomlands for agriculture. To the south, the small settlement of Essen appears along the highway corridor, while the eastern portion of the map is defined by the repetitive drainages of Bell Cr and Peterson Cr cutting through the upland terrain. The local infrastructure is meticulously detailed, from the primary corridor of Us-77 to the extensive network of county roads that organize the rural landscape into a precise agricultural grid.
