2014 Map of Odell NE

About this map

Beatrice anchors the northeastern corner of this 2014 survey, where the street grid transitions into the expansive agricultural landscape of Gage County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal and perennial waterways, most notably the meandering path of Sicily Creek and its various tributaries including Ash Creek and Bottle Creek. This era of land management is clearly visible through a series of water control structures, including Big Indian Creek Reservoir 14-A and Snyder Reservoir, which dot the drainage basins. For those researching local history, the map identifies the small community of Ellis and its corresponding Ellis Cemetery, along with Pleasant Hill Cemetery located further south. These sites, situated among a regular grid of section roads like W Osage Road and W Linden Road, mark the enduring footprints of early prairie settlements.
