2021 Map of Blue Springs
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
The Big Blue River meanders south through this corner of Gage County, anchoring a series of riverfront communities including Holmesville, Blue Springs, and Wymore. The river's industrial legacy is evidenced by the Blue Springs Power Plant Reservoir, while the surrounding prairie landscape is partitioned by a strictly maintained section-line road grid. The presence of several historic burial grounds, such as Saint Marys Cem and Brethren Cem, provides a valuable geographic reference for those researching local family lineages. Stretching across the landscape is the Chief Standing Bear Trl, which follows the historic path of the Big Blue River valley. To the northwest, the map captures the southern outskirts of Beatrice, where suburban development like Country Club Ln meets the agricultural hinterland. Tributaries such as Cedar Cr and Bills Cr drain the undulating terrain into the central river corridor.
