2017 Map of Oakland

About this map

Oakland serves as the primary hub of this Burt County landscape, where the rectilinear grid of city streets like W Fulton St and N Oakland Ave meets the surrounding agricultural terrain. The waterway system is particularly distinctive, featuring the engineered path of the Logan Creek Dredge alongside the winding remnants of the Old Channel Logan Cr. This juxtaposition of the natural wandering creek bed and the straight-line drainage project illustrates the long-standing efforts to manage the fertile bottomlands of eastern Nebraska. To the south, the small settlement of Essen sits near the intersection of country roads, while the drainages of Peterson Cr and Bell Cr carve subtle valleys through the township. The map provides a clear record of local property boundaries and the network of county roads, such as Co Rd L and Co Rd I, that define the region's rural character.
