About this map

The Big Blue River meanders across this Polk County landscape, carving a distinct valley through the agricultural grid of south-central Nebraska. Centered near the settlement of Durant, the map illustrates a region defined by its watercourses and rural infrastructure at the start of the 2020s. In the north, Prairie Cr flows eastward, while the southern portion of the quadrangle transition into York County along RD 25.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Pleasant Hill Cem located in the southeastern quadrant, a quiet landmark amidst the vast section lines. The presence of the Bjerrum Reservoir in the west highlights local water management and land use patterns that sustain the area's farming economy. The map preserves the exact layout of the county road system, from Co RD 126 down to RD 22, providing a precise record of rural access and property divisions in this quiet corner of the Plains.
