About this map

Flanagan and Graymont serve as the primary hubs in this late-20th-century landscape of Livingston County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the winding path of the Vermilion River in the northeast and several small tributaries like Scattering Point Creek and Morehouse Creek that drain the surrounding agricultural lands. A legacy of earlier transportation is visible in the Old Railroad Grade passing through Flanagan, marking the path of former rail commerce that once bolstered these prairie communities.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers, including family-named sites such as Springer Cem, Earp Cem, and Johnson Cem. The map also records localized landmarks like Walden Farm and the Mt Zion Cem, alongside infrastructure such as the Bradley Bridge and a Quarry near the river. This survey provides a clear view of the area's rural organization across the townships of Long Point, Amity, Nebraska, and Rooks Creek.
