About this map

Homestead National Monument preserves a vital piece of frontier history along the banks of Cub Cr, including the significant Freeman Grave Site. This region west of Beatrice is defined by the winding course of the Big Blue River, which dictates the landscape and road network. The map reveals the layout of the city of Beatrice and nearby Glenover, showing the expansion of the Southeast Community College Beatrice Campus and the Beatrice Municipal Airport.

Further north, the small settlement of Hoag sits near the junction of several creeks, including Snake Cr and Soap Cr. The agricultural character of the area is evident through numerous irrigation and water management projects, such as Ebbers Reservoir Number 1 and Dusenbery-Doyle Reservoir. Local industry and transit are represented by the presence of Industrial Row and Railroad St in the urban core.
