About this map

The West Fork Big Blue River meanders through this portion of Saline County, defining a landscape of agricultural sections and waterway corridors. Genealogists and local historians will find the Englehaupt Cemetery in the northern reaches and West Mills Cemetery to the east, markers of the early rural communities that established themselves along the river. The area's water management is anchored by the Weber Reservoir and the Weber Dam-1 Dam, which regulate the flow of Sand Creek. A network of section-line roads, including Denton Rd and Rokeby Rd, provides a precise grid for tracing historic land ownership and the paths of Johnson Creek and Otoe Creek across the Nebraska plains.
