2014 Map of Gresham

About this map

Gresham serves as the primary hub of this eastern Nebraska landscape, situated near the intersection of the Polk and York county line. The town's grid is clearly defined by residential streets such as Cherry St, Pine St, and Beech St, which cluster around the village center. A series of water management features define the surrounding agricultural territory, including Torell Reservoir, Miller Reservoir, and Hopwood Reservoir. These man-made impoundments, alongside the Big Blue River in the northeast, reflect the critical role of water conservation in the Great Plains' farming economy. Genealogists will find several local burial grounds documented on this 2014 survey, including Cedar Lawn Cem on the town's eastern edge, and the rural Blue Ridge Cem and Hoffer Cem further north. This map illustrates the transition from organized town life to the expansive section-line road network that governs the Nebraska countryside.
