About this map

Macon serves as the central focal point of this 2017 study of the Nebraska landscape, situated near the intersection of several section-line roads such as O Rd and 31 Rd. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems flowing through the prairie, including the headwaters of W Br Thompson Cr and Wasp Cr. In the northern section, Walnut Basin represents a notable hydrological feature amidst the agricultural grid.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find specific landmarks such as the Blauvelt Cem in the northwest corner, providing a tangible link to early settler families. To the south, Franklin's Plainview Airport sits near the banks of Coon Cr, reflecting the modern infrastructure integrated into this rural environment. The map details the transition from the flat tablelands down into the etched valleys of Lovely Cr and Coates Cr, offering a precise view of the topography in southern Franklin County.
