About this map

The Platte River complex dominates the northern landscape of this Adams County township, where the waterway splits into the Middle Channel Platte River and the South Channel Platte River. This braided river system provides a stark contrast to the rigid section-line grid that organizes the agricultural plains to the south. The small settlement of Prosser serves as a local hub, anchored by the Prosser Post Office, while the community of Hayland sits further south along N Hayland Ave.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Concordia Cemetery located central to these rural communities, north of Thirtytwo Mile Creek. The map also reveals specialized land uses such as the Aknux Airport and the water management reflected in the Thirty-Two Mile Creek Reservoir. From the heights of Topeka Peak to the drainages of Pawnee Creek and Flat Creek, the survey illustrates the intersection of Nebraska's natural hydrology and its organized township development.
