About this map

Zion Cemetery sits at the intersection of Road 730 and Road 435, marking a historical anchor point in this agricultural region along the Gosper and Phelps county line. The landscape is defined by a sophisticated water management network of small, private reservoirs, including Ebmeier Reservoir, Walters Reservoir, and the Gardner and Gardner-Larson pools. These catchments follow the natural drainage of seasonal watercourses like Swartz Creek and East Branch Turkey Creek. The regular grid of section roads, such as County Line Road, illustrates the late-twentieth-century development of the Great Plains' rural infrastructure, where precise surveying facilitated large-scale farming and local transport across the drainage divides.
