About this map

Hallam and Kramer anchor this portion of the rural landscape along the border of Lancaster and Gage Counties. The terrain is defined by an extensive water management system, including Olive Creek Lake and numerous engineered basins such as Salt Creek Reservoir 25-A and Meadow Lake Number 1. This network of reservoirs and small tributaries like Olive Br and Spring Br illustrates the agricultural reliance on controlled water resources in the eastern Nebraska plains.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial sites across the townships, from the Kramer Community Cem to the isolated Buhrman Cem and Immanuel Cem. These landmarks, alongside the Congregational Cem, serve as primary identifiers for the early families who settled the region. The map also traces the headwaters of the Middle Br Big Nemaha River, marking a significant drainage divide in the southern section of the quadrangle.
