About this map

Nelson Reservoir sits at the northern edge of this agricultural landscape along the border of Kearney and Franklin counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Little Blue River and the branching drainages of the Middle Br Thompson Cr and E Br Thompson Cr. This rural area preserves a classic section-line road grid, including routes like A Rd and T Rd, which negotiate the local topography of the Loess Plains. Small-scale aviation and local genealogy are anchored by specific landmarks such as the Sindt Airport and several historic burial grounds. Sites like Osco Cem and Trinity Cem provide essential geographic points of reference for families tracing their roots in this portion of the Nebraska plains.
