2014 Map of Venus

About this map

Venus marks the northeast corner of this landscape where the boundaries of Knox, Holt, and Antelope counties meet. This agricultural region is defined by the branching drainages of the Verdigre Creek system, including the Middle Br Verdigre Cr and the S Br Verdigre Cr. The topography is shaped by numerous man-made water features, such as Boelter Reservoir, Waterman Reservoir, Cronk Reservoir, and Schacht Reservoir, which support the local farming economy. For genealogists and local historians, the Lambert Cem sits as a central landmark amidst the section-line roads, providing a focal point for tracing family roots in this rural Nebraska community. The map illustrates a structured grid of rural routes, from 508th Ave to 871st Rd, that connect isolated farmsteads across the undulating terrain.
