2014 Map of Crete North

About this map

The Big Blue River and its West Fork define the western geography of this Saline County region, where the northern residential and industrial edges of Crete meet the agricultural plains. A dense network of rural roads, including Yankee Hill Rd and Denton Rd, connects the small settlement of Berks to surrounding farmsteads. The landscape is notably marked by an extensive system of water management features, including several numbered reservoirs such as Walnut Cr Reservoir Number 1 and Elsner Reservoir Number 1. For local history and genealogy, the map identifies Camden Cem in the northwest and Riverside Cem near the river, providing specific points of interest for family researchers. The boundary between Seward, Lancaster, and Saline counties converges here, illustrating the jurisdictional layout of the prairie north of the city center.
