Swetland Center for Great Plains Studies and Department ofAnthropology University ofNebraska-Lincoln Lincoln, NE 68588-0317 Abstract. The (Dawes) General Allotment Act of1887 was meant to fulfill the United States Government policy ofallotting individual parcels of Indian reservation lands in an effort to break up communal societies,Jorcing tribes to move towards the white man's ideal of civilized culture. Three decades earlier, Article 6 ofthe Treaty of1854 allowed for the survey and allotting of the Omaha's northeastern Nebraska reservation, placing the Omaha Nation at the leading edge offederal policy a generation before the Dawes Act.

    Three Geologic Cross Sections Across Portions of Eastern Nebraska Showing Quaternary Lithologic Units and Stratigraphy of Uppermost Bedrock

    Three Geologic Cross Sections Across Portions of Eastern Nebraska Showing Quaternary Lithologic Units and Stratigraphy of Uppermost Bedrock Jesse T. Korus1, Dana P. Divine1, Paul R. Hanson1, and Jeremy S. Dillon2 Author affiliations: 1. Conservation and Survey Division, School of Natural Resources, University of NebraskaLincoln 2. Department of Geography, University of NebraskaKearney Correlations and Cross Sections (CCS) 18 Conservation and Survey Division School of Natural Resources Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources University of NebraskaLincoln Lincoln, Nebraska 2012 Introduction Three cross sections were constructed across portions of eastern Nebraska to characterize the regional geology of unconsolidated Quaternary deposits and the bedrock units that lie directly beneath them. The locations of these cross sections are shown in Figure 1. Lithologic data were obtained primarily from historical test hole logs drilled by the Conservation and Survey Division (CSD). These test holes were drilled specifically to investigate subsurface geology and therefore represent the highest quality data available. Lithologic logs of these test holes are available from CSD or at http://snr.unl.edu. Additional unpublished test hole logs not drilled as part of the official CSD test hole drilling program that exist along the line of cross section were reviewed for quality and reliability. Logs of good quality were used in some places to supplement the lithologic data. These logs are included in Appendices A-C. Each of these geologic cross sections was originally drafted by Vince Dreeszen of the CSD. Although these original cross sections were not published, the originals are archived at CSD. The geologic interpretations on each of the three cross sections are based in part on the existing data and Dreeszen’s original cross sections.
