2014 Map of Center East

About this map

Center sits on the western edge of this Knox County landscape, where the plains are deeply etched by the drainage of Bazile Cr and its tributaries. This 2014 survey captures a rural Nebraska terrain defined by a rigid section-line road network, including routes like 882 RD and 537 Ave, which negotiate the undulating landforms near Walker Draw. The map is particularly useful for local historians and genealogists, as it identifies the secluded Kemme Cem situated between the winding path of Little Bazile Cr and the upland reaches of the county road system. The contrast between the strictly surveyed grid of the American West and the irregular, natural courses of the creek beds illustrates the ongoing relationship between agricultural land use and the region's topography.
