About this map

The Big Blue River and its confluence with the West Fork dominate this mid-century landscape in Saline County. The city of Crete anchors the southern portion of the sheet, showing the organized grid of the town center alongside Tuxedo Park and Riverside Cem. In the surrounding rural townships of Highland and Crete, the map details a network of country roads and agricultural sections, punctuated by local education sites like Valley View Sch and St James Sch.

Transportation history is visible through the active Burlington Northern line and the presence of an Old Railroad Grade running parallel to the river. To the north and east, the terrain becomes more dissected by drainage systems including Cheese Creek, Walnut Creek, and Haines Branch, leading toward the small community of Berks near the Lancaster County line. The map also identifies the Camden Cem in the northwestern hills, providing valuable data for local genealogists.
