About this map

Farmers Hill Cemetery and Conley Cemetery sit along the northern border of this rural Nebraska landscape, serving as quiet landmarks for local genealogy and family history. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small wetlands and ephemeral ponds, a characteristic feature of the Nebraska Sandhills. These water bodies surround the winding path of Cache Creek as it moves through the northeastern corner of the map. The human footprint is traced through a precise grid of county roads, including 848th Rd and a series of north-south corridors like 487th Ave and 489th Ave. This arrangement reflects the enduring legacy of the rectangular survey system in the American West, where agricultural land is neatly partitioned between the many scattered ponds and marshes that dominate the natural drainage.
