About this map

Sutherland Reservoir dominates the western edge of this Nebraska landscape, serving as a focal point for recreation and water management in Lincoln County. The eastern shoreline is home to Sutherland State Park, while the Oregon Trail Golf Course sits at the reservoir's northern tip, reflecting the local intersection of historical naming and modern leisure. An intricate system of water transport is evident through the Outlet Canal, which winds eastward across a grid of rural roads, including S O'fallons Rd and S Lamont Rd.

Family history and local geography are etched into the terrain at Lemont Cemetery and along numerous section-line roads like W Correction Line Rd and S Hershey Dickens Rd. The landscape follows a strictly surveyed agricultural pattern, typical of the Great Plains, where the drainage of the Outlet Canal dictates the slight deviations in an otherwise rectilinear road network. This survey documents the area's infrastructure before subsequent developments, preserving the 2011 layout of these high-plains irrigation and transit corridors.
