About this map

Cornlea serves as the primary hub of this eastern Nebraska landscape, characterized by a well-organized grid of section roads and several winding watercourses. The local community center is anchored by the Cornlea Post Office and the nearby Sacred Heart Cemetery, providing important markers for genealogists and local historians. To the south, the Moriah Cemetery sits alone along the section lines, further indicating the historical footprint of early settlements in the region.

The hydrology of the area is dominated by the confluence of several branches, including the North Fork Union Creek, South Fork Union Creek, and the main stem of Union Creek in the north. Further south, Tracy Creek and Elm Creek carve through the agricultural fields. The precise road numbering system, from 400 ST up to 505 ST, illustrates the systematic development of the county's infrastructure in the early 21st century.
