2017 Map of Tekamah

About this map

Tekamah serves as the focal point of this Burt County landscape, situated where the undulating loess hills of the west meet the broad, engineered Missouri River floodplain to the east. The town's grid is clearly defined, bordered by the Tekamah Cem and supporting local aviation at the Tekamah Municipal Airport. The area's hydrology is dominated by an extensive network of man-made drainage systems designed to manage the fertile bottomlands, including the Riverside Ditch, Douglas Ditch, and Foree Ditch. To the west, the terrain rises into hills where the Tekamah-Mud Creek Reservoir 4-A and Tekamah-Mud Creek Reservoir 2-A provide flood control along Mud Cr. This survey captures the precise intersection of agricultural necessity and water management, showing how the land is sectioned by a regular grid of county roads.
