About this map

The agricultural landscape of Butler, Saunders, Seward, and Lancaster counties converges in this 2017 survey of east-central Nebraska. The region is defined by a dense network of water management features, notably the Oak Middle Creek Reservoir 63-D and Peanut Creek Reservoir 57-A. These man-made reservoirs, along with the meandering Oak Creek and Wilson-Tongue Creek, illustrate a highly managed watershed that supports the surrounding farmsteads.

Local transportation is established along a grid of section-line roads, including Ashland Road and Little Salt Road. The map documents numerous smaller water bodies such as Schmidt Reservoir and the S and H Farms Reservoir, which reflect private land usage and conservation efforts. The terrain is marked by gentle drainage basins that feed into the larger creek systems, providing a detailed record of the rural infrastructure at the intersection of these four counties.
