2017 Map of Carleton

About this map

Carleton serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in southeastern Nebraska, situated where the grid of rural roads meets the winding path of Big Sandy Cr. The town's small street grid, including 1st St and 10th St, provides a focal point within a vast expanse of section lines and township boundaries. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, from the Folkerts Airport to the Weddell Reservoir, reflecting the modern balance of aviation, water management, and tradition. To the north, the Summit Cem stands as a point of interest for genealogists, located near the border of Fillmore Co and Thayer Co. This survey illustrates the persistent importance of the section-line road network, such as Rd X and Rd W, in organizing the region's agricultural life.
