About this map

The Little Blue River winds through the southern reaches of Jefferson County, Nebraska, just above the border with Kansas. This 2017 survey details the riparian corridor and the small settlements of Endicott and Steele City, which are connected by a network of rural routes like 707th Rd and 705th Rd. The landscape is defined by the erosion patterns of several tributaries, including Rock Creek, Turkey Creek, and the prominent Steele City Canyon located northwest of the village of Rudy.

Genealogists and local historians will find the layout of Steele City particularly informative, including the location of the Steele City Cemetery and the intersection of S Railroad St and E Main St. The map reflects the agrarian character of the Nebraska-Kansas borderland, where named drainage features like Smith Creek and School Creek dictate the placement of local roads and farmsteads within the Public Land Survey System grids of t1n r3e and t1n r4e.
