About this map

Doane University stands as a prominent fixture in the northern section of this survey, marking the educational and cultural core of Crete. The landscape south of the city is defined by the winding course of the Big Blue River and its various tributaries, including Olive Br and Otoe Cr. This agrarian region is dotted with scattered settlements and specialized landmarks, such as the Crete Municipal Airport and the small communities of Shestak and Kramer.

Reflecting the heritage of the area, several burial grounds are distributed across the countryside, notably the Bohemian National Cem and the Kramer Community Cem. Water management is evident through numerous reservoirs like Lothrop Reservoir and Teal Reservoir, alongside named bodies like Miller Pond and Tanglewood Lake. The map illustrates a structured grid of county roads, such as W Stagecoach Rd and W Panama Rd, which facilitate movement between these rural homesteads and the larger centers.
