About this map

Coleridge serves as the primary hub of this Cedar County landscape, situated at the junction of the Chicago and North Western railroad and local rural routes. The town is flanked by the St Michael Cem and Norris Cem, providing significant points of interest for genealogists tracking early families in Northeast Nebraska. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, including the headwaters of Kerloo Creek, North Logan Creek, and Dead Creek, which cut through the agricultural sections of Prec 13 and Prec 16.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure appears in the numerous Gravel Pits scattered near Bow Creek, while the Hartington Municipal Airport and County Fairground reflect the community's mid-century expansion. The transition from the rugged creek valleys to the high, flat plains demonstrates the traditional land-use patterns common in this portion of the Missouri River Basin during the late 1960s.
