2011 Map of Wallace NW

About this map

Red Willow Creek meanders through the southwestern corner of this landscape, providing a rare water source in an otherwise strictly partitioned agricultural region of Lincoln County. The land is defined by a rigid section-line road network typical of the Great Plains, where routes like N Wallace Rd and W 7 Mile Rd mark the boundaries of large-scale farming operations. This 2011 survey reveals the precise geometry of rural Nebraska, documenting the placement of livestock-related infrastructure and irrigation patterns. Names like W Dairy Rd and W Corn Rd reflect the primary commodities of the local economy, while Lone Star Rd and W Parker Rd suggest family-named heritage in a region where few major settlements are found. The map provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure required to maintain this high-plains agricultural production.
