2017 Map of Bancroft

About this map

Bancroft and Rosalie anchor this northeast Nebraska landscape at the intersection of Cuming, Thurston, and Burt counties. The region's agricultural character is defined by an extensive water management network, most notably the Logan Creek Dredge which runs straight through the lowlands. This massive engineering effort stands in contrast to the winding remnants of the Old Channel Logan Cr, showing the mid-century transition from natural floodplains to reclaimed farmland. The map reveals the rigid grid of county roads like Road S and 24th Rd that parcel out the terrain. Smaller waterways such as Big Slough Cr and Somalia Cr drain the higher ground toward the engineered channels. Within the town sites, street-level detail includes Washington St and Main St, providing a look at the layout of these rural communities during the late 2010s.
