About this map

Malmo serves as the primary hub for this section of Saunders County, with the village layout and the Malmo Post Office providing a focal point for the surrounding agricultural community. The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of institutional landmarks that tell the story of early settlement and religious heritage, including the Holy Rosary Cemetery, Saint Johns Cemetery, Bethesda Cemetery, and the Lutheran Cemetery.

Water management defines much of the terrain, with several tributaries and modern infrastructure like Barry Reservoir and the larger Cottonwood Creek Reservoir 32-A altering the path of local waterways. These reservoirs, along with Cottonwood Creek Reservoir 8-D and the prominent Skunk Hill, interrupt the geometric grid of county roads. The drainage network is further defined by the meandering paths of Sand Creek, Spring Creek, and Duck Creek, which weave through the sectioned farmland in the first decade of the 21st century.
