About this map

Virginia and Rockford anchor this section of Gage County, where a complex network of agricultural water management dominates the landscape. The terrain is defined by the numerous reservoirs and dams along Mud Cr and its tributaries, including Mud Cr Reservoir 4-8, Mud Cr Reservoir 3-A, and Kuhns Reservoir. These engineered water bodies, coupled with drainages like Bloody Run and Wildcat Cr, illustrate the intensive hydrological modification required for farming on these Nebraska plains.

Local history is preserved at the Stark Cem near the western edge and the Virginia Cem just outside the town of Virginia. The map detail reflects a deeply structured rural grid, with roads such as E Belvidere Rd and S 108th Rd following the township and range lines of t3n r7e and t2n r8e. This systematic division of land highlights the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in the American Midwest.
