About this map

Wausa anchors the southern edge of this Knox County landscape, where the town's street grid, including Clark St and Wilson St, meets the rural section lines of the Nebraska plains. The surrounding area is defined by a high plateau dissected by several drainages, most notably the N Fork Elkhorn River flowing through the eastern reaches. The map reveals the local social and transportation geography of the early 21st century, documented through a network of rural roads such as 880 Rd and 875 Rd that connect family landmarks and community sites.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Thabor Cem and Woodlawn Cem, situated just outside the main settlement. The presence of the Frevert Airstrip north of town highlights the modern aviation infrastructure integrated into this agricultural landscape, while watercourses like Little Bazile Cr and W Bow Cr continue to shape the natural contours of the township divisions.
