About this map

The town of Douglas serves as the primary hub in this eastern Nebraska landscape, where the South Fork Little Nemaha River and its various tributaries define the rural layout. This survey documents a critical water management infrastructure, evidenced by a series of engineered structures including Upper Big Nemaha Dam L-10 and Big Nemaha Reservoir G-15. These reservoirs and dams are interspersed throughout the agricultural grid, alongside the North Fork Big Nemaha River and smaller streams like Silver Creek.

For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant rural burial sites, including Mount Zion Cemetery in the north, Solon Cemetery centrally located, and Saint Martins Cemetery just south of the main township. Transportation and regional connectivity are represented by the Douglas Post Office and the small Korver Airport, while a network of rural routes like Panama Rd and Stagecoach Rd connects the scattered farmsteads and water resources.
