2014 Map of Crete South

About this map

Crete serves as the primary hub of this eastern Nebraska landscape, situated along the banks of the Big Blue River. The presence of Doane Coll near the northern edge of the map highlights the area's long-standing educational heritage, while the Crete Municipal Airport and a grid of rural routes like Co Road GGG and W Panama Rd illustrate the local transportation infrastructure. To the south and east, the settlements of Shestak and Kramer anchor small farming communities near the Saline and Lancaster County line. The terrain is marked by numerous water management projects, including Salt Cr Reservoir 27-C and Teal Reservoir, designed to control drainage into the river system. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial sites, such as the Bohemian National Cem, Blue Valley Cem, and the Sacred Heart Cem.
