About this map

Battle Creek serves as the primary hub in this portion of Madison County, established where the waterway of the same name meets a grid of rural section roads. The settlement's local infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the Battle Creek Post Office and community spaces like the Battle Creek Municipal Park Campground and Evergreen Hill Golf Course. This survey captures the region's agricultural layout, dominated by a precise network of avenues and roads including 547th Ave and 839th Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of regional burial grounds, with the Lutheran Cemetery and Union Cemetery located just south of the main town site, while Allbery Cemetery and Fairview Cemetery are situated further afield in the prairie landscape. The drainage patterns of North Taylor Creek and Taylor Creek provide the only breaks in the strictly ordered farm plots, illustrating how the natural topography influenced early land divisions in this part of Nebraska.
