About this map

Sutherland Reservoir dominates the northwestern corner of this Lincoln County landscape, its waters feeding into the extensive Outlet Canal system. This 2014 survey documents a region defined by its hydraulic infrastructure and a rectilinear grid of rural roads that navigate the subtle Nebraska topography. Local history is anchored at the Lemont Cem on W Antelope Rd, a common focal point for genealogical research in this part of the state.

The map reveals a transition from the structured shoreline of the reservoir to the undulating terrain of the Platte River valley's south side. Named routes like Ofallon Rd, Dickens Rd, and Prairie Trace Rd cross the terrain, illustrating the modern rural development patterns over the older prairie landscape. The interplay between the artificial waterway and the natural contours highlights the region's dependence on managed water resources for agriculture and recreation.
