About this map

Hale Cem and Green Valley Cem sit amidst the dissected drainage basins of northeast Nebraska, marking the rural landscape of the Dakota and Thurston county line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the winding paths of Pigeon Cr, Fiddlers Cr, and Wigle Cr. These natural features dictate the section-line road grid, where routes like Fiddler Creek Rd and Wigle Creek Rd follow the local topography.

Evidence of early water management and land use appears through labels like the Pigeon Cr Ditch and the isolated Baird Spring. For family historians, the presence of the James Rave Cem near Turtle Cr provides a specific point of interest in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a contemporary look at this agricultural region, where small cemeteries and named creeks remain the primary landmarks across the townships of t28n r7e and t28n r8e.
