About this map

The village of Stockham serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape along the Hamilton and Clay County line. Situated in the northern half of the quadrangle, the settlement is surrounded by a dense grid of rural roads, including Grace Stockham and N Stockham Rd, that define the section-line farming pattern of the Nebraska plains. Local history is anchored by the Stockham Cem, located just south of the main cluster of buildings.

The hydrology of the region is dominated by the meandering course of the West Fork Big Blue River, along with its tributaries like the N Br W Fork Big Blue River. These waterways carve low-lying drainage patterns through the otherwise flat terrain. Man-made water features, such as Thieszen Reservoir and Nuss Reservoir, reflect the importance of water management for the surrounding townships of t9n r6w and t8n r5w.
