About this map

The village of Avoca anchors this 2014 survey of the agricultural landscape along the border of Cass and Otoe counties. Situated at the junction of Ne-13c Spur and O ST, the settlement is surrounded by a network of drainage systems feeding into Weeping Water Cr, including the S Br Weeping Water Cr and N Br Weeping Water Cr. The terrain is marked by essential rural infrastructure and water management features such as Ahrens Reservoir, Bond Reservoir, and the Wilson Cr Reservoir 12-3.

Genealogists and local historians will find the exact location of Saint Johns Cem on the eastern side of the quadrangle near Knabe DR. The map also documents the aviation history of the area with the presence of Browns Airport in the northern reaches. This modern data captures the persistence of the original section-line road grid, from 132nd ST in the west to 60th ST in the east, which has defined Nebraska's farmland for generations.
