About this map

Wymore sits at the northern edge of this landscape where the Big Indian Creek and its namesake reservoirs define the local topography. The map records a transition from the structured residential grid of Wymore down through the rural section-line roads of southern Gage County to the border at State Line Road. This boundary marks the divide between Nebraska and Kansas, specifically where Gage County meets Marshall County.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial sites, including Saint Johns Cemetery and Bethel Cemetery, alongside the small settlement of Krider in the west. The drainage of Otoe Creek and the Big Blue River illustrates the natural watercourse patterns of the plains, while man-made features like the Thomsen Airport and the complex of reservoirs—such as Big Indian Creek Reservoir 11-A—show the 21st-century development of the region's agricultural and civil infrastructure.
