About this map

Turkey Creek meanders through the central Nebraska landscape, defining the rural character of this agricultural region in the mid-1960s. The map illustrates a grid of sections and townships across Saline and Fillmore counties, where small educational and community hubs like Standard Sch and Walnut Grove Sch served the surrounding farmsteads. These localized landmarks, along with the Turkey Creek Cem and Applegate Cem, provide essential anchor points for researchers tracing family history in the Turkey Creek and Atlanta townships. Evidence of local industry is visible through numerous Gravel Pits and a Sandpit situated near the watercourses, while the southern reaches are drained by the North Fork Swan Creek.
