2011 Map of Blue Hill

About this map

Blue Hill serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in southern Nebraska, characterized by a complex network of small waterways and man-made reservoirs. The town's grid is anchored by the Blue Hill Post Office and flanked by the Blue Hill Cemetery to the north. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is defined by a series of north-south drainages including Dove Creek, Ash Creek, and Elm Creek, which feed into numerous family-named impoundments such as Siebrass Reservoir and Armstrong Reservoir. This drainage pattern reflects the local reliance on water management for farming in Webster County. For those researching family history, the map preserves the location of rural burial grounds like Trinity Cemetery and Walker Cemetery, while also detailing the positions of structural landmarks like Schmidt Dam and Seeman Dam that harness the flow of the East Fork Elm Creek and its tributaries.
