About this map

Prairie Dog Creek meanders through the southern portion of this Norton County landscape, defining the local geography as it flows past the small communities of Dellvale and Oronoque. This 2009 survey shows an agricultural region organized by a strict grid of section roads like RD W-11 and RD K, which connect scattered homesteads and the rural settlements of Reager and Rockwell.

One significant point of local interest is the Almena Diversion Dam on the creek west of Dellvale, a key piece of water management infrastructure for the surrounding prairie. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Oronoque Cemetery situated north of its namesake community, while several branches of Spring Draw reach across the central plains, illustrating the drainage patterns that have influenced land use and settlement since the area was first homesteaded.
