2021 Map of Venus

About this map

Venus serves as the quiet geographic center of this rural landscape, situated at the junction of 512 Ave and 871st Rd. The terrain is defined by the branching drainages of the Verdigre Creek system, including Middle Br Verdigre Cr and S Br Verdigre Cr, which carve intricate patterns across the Holt and Knox county lines. This 2021 survey illustrates a region dominated by agricultural management and water conservation, evidenced by numerous man-made bodies such as Boeller Reservoir, Waterman Reservoir, and Schacht Reservoir. Local history is anchored by the Lambert Cem and several small natural water features like Saltz Lake. The map reveals a strictly gridded section-line road network, such as Co Hwy 108 and 870th Rd, that facilitates movement through this sparsely populated corner of Nebraska.
