2017 Map of Battle Creek SW

About this map

The rolling agricultural uplands of Madison County are defined by a regular grid of section-line roads and the winding path of N Fork Union Cr. This landscape reflects the enduring rural character of northeastern Nebraska, where transport and community sites are organized around a precise township and range system including t22n r4w and t21n r3w. Small communal landmarks provide vital clues for genealogists and local historians, particularly the Iowa Valley Cem in the northern reaches and the Evangelical Cem further south along 542nd Ave. The drainage of Battle Cr clips the northwestern corner, while an extensive network of numbered routes like 831st Rd and 830th Rd connects the scattered farmsteads across the prairie.
