About this map

Silver Creek Cem sits in the rolling uplands of Jefferson County, Nebraska, marking a quiet point of local genealogy just north of the state line. This landscape, primarily defined by the seasonal drainage of the Little Blue River, shows a deeply established grid of section roads like 705th Rd and Jade Rd. The southern border of the map follows the political boundary between Nebraska and Kansas, where Jefferson and Washington counties meet. Several major creek systems, including Silver Cr and Rose Cr, carve through the terrain, while the Haake Reservoir provides a significant water feature in the northern sections. The map preserves the rural character of this border region, illustrating the relationship between the small tributary waters like Dry Br and the agricultural road network that connects the scattered homesteads and farming operations of the plains.
