2014 Map of Bethel Cemetery

About this map

Bethel Cem sits as a lonely marker of community heritage near the intersection of Co Road 44 and Co Road 69 in this corner of the Nebraska panhandle. The surrounding landscape in Kimball Co and Cheyenne Co is defined by a rigorous grid of section roads, including Road 71 and Co Road 40, which facilitate movement through the high plains terrain. A notable break in the agricultural topography occurs at Brothers Reservoir, a vital water source in this semi-arid region. The map illustrates the precise division of land in the early 21st century, where the historical footprint of early settlers remains visible through family-named features and the enduring presence of local cemeteries amidst a sea of surveyed sections.
