About this map

Coleridge serves as the primary hub in this portion of Cedar County, situated at the intersection of a grid-iron road network including W Broadway St and 567th Ave. The surrounding landscape is defined by the dissection of the loess plains by numerous small waterways, most notably Bow Creek, Dead Cr, and Kerloo Cr. These drainage patterns influenced the early settlement and placement of rural landmarks, visible in the distribution of community sites across the townships.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through the mapping of several burial grounds, such as Saint Michael Cem south of the town center, and the more isolated Immanuel Cem and Norris Cem. To the northwest, the Hartington Municipal Airport/ Bud Becker Field marks the modern utility of the land, while the section-line roads like 882nd Rd maintain the traditional rectangular survey structure that has governed Nebraska's agricultural layout for generations.
