About this map

Zion Cem stands as a quiet focal point in this 2017 survey of the borderlands between Gosper and Phelps Counties. The landscape is defined by its agricultural water management, evidenced by numerous named catchment basins such as Ebmeier Reservoir and Walters Reservoir. These features, alongside several family-named landmarks like the Gardner-Larson Reservoir and Bailey Reservoir, illustrate the modern infrastructure required for prairie farming in south-central Nebraska. The drainage patterns of the region are shaped by the north-flowing headwaters of Swartz Cr and the E Br Turkey Cr. A strictly ordered grid of section-line roads, including RD 736 and RD 730, provides the primary framework for local travel across this rural township landscape, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System.
