2014 Map of Chester

About this map

Chester, Nebraska, sits directly on the state line, where the local grid meets the Nebraska-Kansas border. This survey documents the intersection of rural agriculture and regional transport, with Us-81 cutting a north-south path through the rolling terrain. The landscape is defined by a series of small, named water catchments such as Schlife Reservoir and Laverentz Reservoir, which support the surrounding farms. Genealogists can find several historic burial sites, including Saint Johns Cem and the Chester Cem located north of the town center. To the east, Hubbell serves as another local hub along Ne-8, with the Hubbell Cem and Rose Cr marking its southern edge. The presence of Sutton Airport near Road E highlights the integration of light aviation into the rural landscape.
