2014 Map of Valparaiso SW

About this map

Oak Cr and its various tributaries define the agricultural and hydrological character of this landscape at the intersection of Butler, Saunders, Seward, and Lancaster counties. The drainage network is heavily managed through a series of numbered and named catchments, including the Koziesek Reservoir and Peanut Cr Reservoir 57-A. This 2014 survey reveals a meticulous grid of rural infrastructure, with thoroughfares like Ashland Rd and Little Salt Rd dividing the terrain into orderly sections typical of the Great Plains. The map's detail provides a clear view of the water management systems necessary for modern farming in the region, featuring named points like the S and H Farms Reservoir and several reservoirs associated with the Middle Oak Cr watershed. These labels, alongside established routes like Ne-66, offer a contemporary record of land use and water conservation efforts in this four-county corner of Nebraska.
