2015 Map of Webster Dam

About this map

Webster Reservoir dominates the landscape of this Rooks County region, created by the substantial engineering of the Webster Dam. The reservoir is fed and drained by the S Fork Solomon River, which snakes across the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2015 survey illustrates a rural landscape defined by the Public Land Survey System, with a strict grid of roads such as F Rd and N Rd carving the terrain into sections. Away from the water, the upland areas are punctuated by small drainage systems like Sand Cr and Ash Cr. For those tracing local history, the Mount Vernon Cem stands as a notable landmark of early settlement patterns in a landscape otherwise defined by modern water management and agricultural plots.
