2021 Map of Upland SE

About this map

The Little Blue River cuts across the northern reaches of this rural landscape where the border of Kearney Co and Franklin Co divides the plains. This 2021 topographic survey reveals a terrain defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of the Middle Br Thompson Cr and E Br Thompson Cr, which flow southward through the agricultural grid. Local history is anchored by the presence of Osco Cem in the north and Trinity Lutheran Cem near the southern boundary, markers of the long-standing communities that settled these townships. The map illustrates a strictly ordered section-line road system, with alphanumeric designations such as Osco Rd and S Rd, while the privately owned Sindt Airport serves as a small aviation node within the open farmland. Further north, the Nelson Reservoir stands as a significant water feature amidst the undulating prairie.
