About this map

Osceola, the county seat of Polk County, serves as the primary hub of this eastern Nebraska landscape. The grid-based township layout is anchored by the Polk County Courthouse, surrounded by streets such as Main St and Valley St. This modern survey reveals a highly managed hydrological system, where numerous private and public water bodies like Burritt Reservoir and Mentink Reservoir dot the upland plains. These reservoirs, alongside Davis Cr, feed into the larger drainage basin of the Big Blue River at the southern edge of the quadrangle.

Agricultural patterns are clearly defined by a rigorous network of section-line roads, including Center Rd and Co Rd 130. To the south, the periphery of Stromsburg appears, demonstrating the close proximity of these regional trade centers. The density of named water features like Norman Leach Reservoir and Rosenquist Reservoir highlights the critical importance of water storage for local agriculture in the 21st century.
