About this map

The town of Blue Hill serves as the central hub of this 1969 survey, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad near the border of Adams and Webster counties. The landscape is defined by its agricultural and drainage patterns, with Silver Lake in the northwest and numerous waterways such as Little Blue, Crooked Creek, and Elm Creek carving through the prairie.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established community landmarks including Trinity Cem, Blue Hill Cem, and Walker Cem, reflecting the early settlement history of the area. The presence of the Ash Hollow Country Club near the town center indicates mid-century social development, while the transition to varied terrain names like Potsdam and Zero illustrates the local geographic naming conventions of south-central Nebraska during this era.
