2011 Map of Stromsburg

About this map

The Big Blue River snakes through this section of Polk County, defining a landscape marked by both agricultural management and local recreation. In the northern portion of the map, Stromsburg serves as a primary hub, featuring the Stromsburg Post Office and the nearby Stromsburg Municipal Airport. The town's grid extends toward the Stromsburg Municipal Cemetery and the Buckley Park Campground, illustrating the community's established infrastructure. To the south, the smaller settlement of Benedict anchors the lower township with its own Benedict Post Office. A significant hydrological pattern is visible through a series of named impoundments including Olson Reservoir, Mentink Reservoir, and Dickson Reservoir, each supported by their respective dams. These features reflect the 21st-century water management practices essential to the Nebraska prairie, where the Prairie Creek also contributes to the local drainage system.
