2011 Map of Reservoir Lake SW

About this map

This corner of Chase County represents the organized geometry of rural Nebraska's section-line road network in the early 21st century. The map depicts a landscape dominated by the intersection of thoroughfares like 314 Ave and 727 Rd, tracing the paths that connect isolated ranching and farming operations. These roads, including 315 Ave and 726 Rd, follow the rigid township and range surveying system, illustrating how late-modern infrastructure continues to adhere to 19th-century land divisions. The presence of 318 Ave further highlights the systematic grid of the Great Plains, where long, straight routes serve as the primary conduits for movement across the expansive agricultural territory.
