2011 Map of Tecumseh NE

About this map

Muddy Creek and Spring Creek define the drainage of this Johnson County landscape, where a sophisticated network of water management features appeared by the early 21st century. The map illustrates a series of man-made structures including Spring Creek Dam 5-A and Spring Creek Reservoir 6-A, reflecting modern conservation and agricultural engineering in the rural Midwest. Interspersed among these modern waterworks are traditional landmarks of the community's heritage. Four distinct burial grounds serve as essential anchors for local genealogy: Mount Hope Cemetery, Spring Creek Cemetery, Saint Mathews Cemetery, and Johnson Cemetery. These sites, along with the landing strip at Ensor Field, provide a clear picture of how land use evolved in this part of Nebraska, balancing long-established rural traditions with contemporary infrastructure.
