About this map

Stockville serves as the focal point for this rural Frontier County landscape, where the prairie is defined by the winding course of Medicine Creek and its many tributaries. The area's community history is anchored by markers of local life such as the Frontier County Fairground and the Stockville Post Office. Education and remembrance are well-documented through the placement of the Liberty School and Weiden School, along with Arbor Cemetery and Sunset Point Cemetery.

Water management is a central theme of this 2011 survey, showing a network of small dams and reservoirs including Ruggles Reservoir, Campbell Reservoir, and Houser Reservoir Number 1. These features, alongside the deep cuts of Curtis Creek Canyon and Saunders Canyon, illustrate the rugged topography of the Nebraska Loess Hills. Cultural heritage is further highlighted by the Dancing Leaf Earth Lodge near the creek, providing a record of the region's long human history alongside modern landmarks.
