2011 Map of Oconto SE

About this map

Buffalo Creek and East Buffalo Creek carve their paths through this Dawson County landscape, where the local topography is defined by the drainage patterns of these winding waterways. The man-made addition of Neben Reservoir, secured by Neben Dam, stands as a primary landmark in the southern half of the quadrangle. This 2011 survey captures a quiet, rural portion of Nebraska dominated by large agricultural parcels and a geometric network of county routes, such as Road 774 and Buffalo Rd. Traces of the region's educational history are preserved in the locations of School Number 61 and School Number 94, while the Neben Airport indicates the infrastructure supporting this expansive Nebraska countryside. The map reveals how water management and local transportation corridors have structured the settlement pattern in this specific corner of the state.
