2021 Map of Bertha

About this map

The unincorporated community of Bertha anchors the southern portion of this Burt County landscape, situated amidst a dense network of county roads that follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The terrain is defined by the drainages of Elm Cr, Lone Tree Cr, and Silver Cr, which carve through the loess hills of eastern Nebraska. Human impact is visible through agricultural infrastructure, most notably at the Langemeier Reservoir and the Holy Family Cem in the northern reaches. The presence of Old Hwy 118 suggests a legacy transport corridor that predates modern highway alignments. This 2021 survey demonstrates the persistent rural character of the region, where land use remains strictly divided by the township and range system, specifically within t23n r9e and surrounding quadrants.
