2014 Map of Berea Creek West

About this map

Berea serves as the central point of interest in this High Plains landscape, situated along the BNSF Railway corridor as it cuts diagonally through the Nebraska panhandle. The map reveals a strictly organized grid of rural roads, including Jefferson Rd and Madison Rd, which define the agricultural sections of Box Butte County. Hydrology is represented by the ephemeral courses of Hemingford Cr and Berea Cr, which meander across the contours of the open prairie. The layout of Depot St in the small settlement of Berea indicates the enduring historical importance of the railroad to this region's grain-handling and transportation economy. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for named rural thoroughfares like Johnson Rd and Hayes Rd, marking the connections between isolated farmsteads and the rail line.
