About this map

Saint Johns Cemetery and Sousek Cemetery stand as primary landmarks in this agricultural portion of Colfax County, where a rigid grid of section-line roads, including Road 12 and Road O, organizes the rural landscape. This territory is defined by its drainages, primarily the southern reaches of Dry Creek and its many branches. The land is interlaced with several waterways that dictate the local topography, such as South Fork Dry Creek and Pond Creek, while the southern edge of the quadrangle is marked by the winding path of Shell Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including the Tollman Cemetery and Grandview Cemetery, which are preserved amidst the expansive farm plots. The inclusion of the K Asal C Anal provides evidence of local water management and irrigation practices essential to the Nebraska prairie's agricultural economy during this early 21st-century period.
