About this map

The agricultural landscape of Antelope County is defined by a rhythmic grid of rural routes and the meandering drainage of the Elkhorn River basin. This survey documents a quiet section of the Nebraska plains, where the rectilinear precision of roads like 527th Ave and Pierce Rd contrasts with the natural wandering of Willow Creek and Belmer Creek. These waterways, including smaller tributaries like Al Hopkins Creek and Trueblood Creek, serve as the primary topographical breaks in a terrain otherwise dedicated to section-line farming. The presence of Rokow Lake and Black Lake adds distinctive focal points to the northern and central sections, suggesting localized areas of low-lying wetland or seasonal water retention common to this prairie environment.
