About this map

Beatrice sits at the northern edge of this Gage County landscape, where the outlying grid of Nebraska's section lines meets the rolling drainage basins of several local reservoirs. The geography is defined by a series of water management projects, including Big Indian Cr Reservoir 13-C, Big Indian Cr Reservoir 14-A, and Big Indian Cr Reservoir 12-A, which follow the natural contours of the Big Indian Cr and Sicily Cr valleys. These reservoirs, alongside Snyder Reservoir, illustrate the modern hydrological management essential to this agricultural region. Evidence of early settlement and community history remains visible through local landmarks like Ellis Cem and Anyon Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the rural families who established themselves along these prairie creeks.
