2012 Map of Talmage

About this map

The Little Nemaha River and its varied tributaries define the landscape of this Otoe County region, where the South Fork Little Nemaha River and North Fork Little Nemaha River converge near the settlement of Talmage. This early 21st-century survey reveals a highly managed watershed characterized by numerous flood control structures, including Wilson Creek Reservoir 3-6 and Spring Creek Reservoir 2-3. These reservoirs, managed by dams such as Wilson Creek Dam 3-C, illustrate the mid-to-late century transition toward large-scale agricultural water management.
