About this map

Ashland and Memphis anchor this landscape where the borders of Saunders, Lancaster, and Cass counties meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Wahoo Creek, Silver Creek, and Little Salt Creek, which carve through the agricultural sections and influence the local road grid. The presence of Memphis Lake and various smaller drainage branches like Robinson Br and Callahan Cr underscore the region's riparian character.

Aviation and local history are marked by the presence of the Hershey Flying Service Field and Starns Brothers Airport, while the Carr Cem serves as a point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in the area. The map documents the precise street layouts of the towns, showing the grid from Furnas St to Silver St in Ashland, alongside a thorough inventory of rural county roads that facilitate movement between the scattered farmsteads and the village of Memphis.
