About this map

Odell serves as the central hub for this portion of Gage County, where a grid of rural roads such as W Sage Rd and W Walnut Rd connects the agricultural landscape. The settlement of Lanham sits at the southern edge, straddling the state line where Gage County, Nebraska meets Washington County, Kansas. This border region is defined by a sophisticated water management system, featuring numerous reservoirs like Big Indian Creek Reservoir 15-A and Diamond Lakes along the drainage of Big Indian Cr.

Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in several designated burial sites, including the Czech National Cem and Saint Josephs Cem. The presence of these cemeteries, alongside Odell Cem and Saint Johns Cem, reflects the heritage of the families who settled this prairie. Small water bodies like Ash Lake and Arrowhead Lake dot the northern reaches, while the Railroad St corridor in Odell hints at the town's original transport foundations.
