About this map

Deep canyons carved into the Nebraska loess plains define the geography where the border of Lincoln County and Frontier County meets. The drainage of Deer Creek is the dominant natural force here, creating distinctive landforms like Mitchell Creek Canyon and East Deer Creek Canyon. This rugged terrain, often less suited for intensive agriculture than the surrounding plateaus, is nonetheless managed through several water control features including Harper Reservoir, Wintermute Reservoir, and Walther Reservoir. Local transit and land division are marked by a grid of named rural routes, such as McPheeters Rd and McNickle Rd, which follow section lines where the topography allows. Cultural history is anchored by the Saint Joseph Cem located near the junction of Farnham Rd and McNickle Road, providing a specific point of interest for genealogical research in this sparsely settled region.
