2011 Map of Bertha

About this map

Bertha is the central point of this agricultural landscape in Burt County, which was surveyed during a time of modern rural development in eastern Nebraska. The area is defined by a grid of county roads and the presence of localized water management, including the Drummond Dam and Langemeier Dam which create small reservoirs for local land use. The map illustrates how the natural drainages of Elm Creek, Lone Tree Creek, and Silver Creek intersect with the rigid township and range road network. To the north, the Holy Family Cemetery stands as a focal point for genealogical interest, while the path of Old Highway 118 reveals the evolution of transport through this section of the state. This map provides a clear record of land ownership patterns and local infrastructure in the early 21st century.
