2014 Map of Malmo

About this map

Malmo serves as the primary hub of this Saunders County landscape, where a grid of rural routes like Co Road O and Co Road 23 connects family-owned farms and remote burial grounds. The agricultural character is punctuated by water management features such as Barry Reservoir and Cottonwood Cr Reservoir 32-A, reflecting the necessity of irrigation and flood control in the Nebraska plains. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several historic community anchors, including Bethesda Cem, Holy Rosary Cem, and Saint Johns Cem. The terrain is generally flat, though Skunk Hill provides a distinct change in elevation to the southeast. Multiple drainage systems, including Sand Cr, Spring Cr, and Duck Creek, weave through the section lines, defining the natural topography of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
