About this map

Ceresco serves as the primary hub of this eastern Nebraska landscape, situated at the intersection of a significant local drainage system and the Chicago and North Western railroad. The terrain is defined by the branching paths of Rock Creek and its tributaries, including the North Fork and Little Rock Creek. This 1969 survey reveals a well-established agricultural and civic pattern, marked by rural education and faith centers such as School No 32, Central Sch, and Grace Ch.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds preserved here, including Fridhem Cem, Rock Creek Cem, and St Patrick Cem. The southwestern portion of the sheet is notable for the U S Military Reservation, while the local economy is evidenced by multiple Gravel Pit operations. The boundary between Saunders and Lancaster Counties cuts through the southern section, illustrating how these administrative lines interact with the natural flow of Ash Hollow and Hobson Branch.
