I think you have Colonel Peter Sarpy and Senator Saxby Chambliss confused.

Incidentally, Sarpy was assigned the prefix 59 for its license plates, based on its 59th place ranking in car registrations in 1922 when the numbering system was implemented.  The system was discontinued in 2000 in Douglas, Sarpy, and Lancaster.

While I wait for South Carolina to be released and made ready, I thought I'd play with Nebraska.

This map tries for a minimal amount of change from the current map.  NE-2 gives up some precincts in Saxby County to NE-1.  NE-1 surrenders all it has of Cedar County, plus all of Wayne and Madison Counties to NE-3, leaving Saxby as the only split county. Inset map provided for Saxby County.

NE-1 608,820  + 40
NE-2 608,867  + 87
NE-3 608,654  -126

There are several precincts along the border of the two districts that could be moved from NE-1 to NE-3 if one wished to reduce the deviation even more by splitting two counties.  Probably the choice of how to split Saxby could also be done differently to reduce the difference, but I tried to avoid having NE-1 and NE-2 trade precincts or splitting Bellevue.
