About this map

Frenchman Cr meanders across this corner of Chase County, driving an intricate network of early 21st-century water management. The community of Champion sits near the Mill Pond, where the Champion Canal begins its course parallel to the creek. This irrigation infrastructure is anchored by the Kilpatrick Diversion Reservoir and Reservoir Lake, illustrating the vital role of water control in the Nebraska plains.

The landscape is structured by a rigorous grid of section roads, including Sandraw Rd and various numbered avenues and roads. Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of Lake View Cem and Pleasant View Cem near the small settlements of Champion and Crete. From the private airstrip at Smith Field to the drainage of Davidson Br and Foerster Br, the map captures the transition between managed water resources and the open agricultural sections of the high plains.
