About this map

Coon Creek meanders through this portion of Frontier County, defining a landscape shaped by agricultural water management and sparse upland settlements. The drainage system is anchored by several man-made improvements, most notably Lashley Reservoir and Schow Reservoir, which are held by Lashley Dam and Schow Dam respectively. These water features are central to the rural infrastructure of the Nebraska plains, supporting the local farming economy through controlled irrigation and collection.

Local history is preserved in the small, scattered burial grounds that serve this rural community. Zion Hill Cemetery and Center Point Cemetery provide important genealogical touchstones for families of the region, marking the early social and spiritual centers of these homesteading townships. The map illustrates a highly organized grid of rural roads and section lines, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in organizing the open prairie into productive agricultural units.
