About this map

Beaver Crossing occupies the eastern bank of the West Fork Big Blue River, serving as a localized hub in the prairie landscape of eastern Nebraska. The settlement pattern here is defined by the rigid Jeffersonian grid, with roads such as Pioneers Rd and Old Cheney Rd spanning the rural sections. Several small reservoirs, including Miller Reservoir, Miller-Flowerday Reservoir, and Langworthy Reservoir, provide water management for the surrounding agricultural lands.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Prairie Grove Cem, Cashier Union Cem, Knob Hill Cem, and Calvary Cem, which are scattered across the township lines. The topography is largely shaped by the meandering courses of Indian Cr, Sleepy Hollow Cr, and Smith Cr, which break the flat terrain of the uplands before feeding into the river. To the north, the Flying-V Airport stands as a notable landmark amidst the sprawling farm sections.
