2014 Map of Saint Paul SW

About this map

The prairie landscape of the central Platte River valley is defined by subtle elevations and vital watercourses along the border of Howard and Hall counties. Notable topographic landmarks such as Mumpumpey Hill and Pool Hill rise above the surrounding terrain, providing orientation points in an area characterized by a rigorous grid of section-line roads. The drainage pattern is marked by Big Slough and Lake Cr in the northwest, reflecting the low-lying nature of the region. This 2014 survey documents a mature agricultural layout, where primary thoroughfares like Ne-58 and Kimball Rd facilitate movement across the rural expanse. The map illustrates how human engineering, represented by the dense network of roads including Friend Rd and Gordon Rd, has superimposed order upon a landscape naturally shaped by the gradual contours of the Nebraska plains.
