1969 Map of Malmo

About this map

The village of Malmo anchors this agrarian landscape in Saunders County, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad corridor. The area is defined by its rural community structure, where numerous numbered schoolhouses—such as School No 34, School No 61, School No 26, and School No 75—reflect the dense network of local school districts common in the late 1960s. The terrain is marked by several significant drainages, including Cottonwood Creek, Sand Creek, Duck Creek, and Spring Creek, which navigate the rises of the prairie toward the southeast. Genealogists will find notable burial sites across the township boundaries of Mariposa and Douglas, including Holy Rosary Cem, St Johns Cem, and Bethesda Cem. In the far southeast corner, the elevation rises toward the landmark known as Skunk Hill, overlooking the surrounding watershed and rail lines.
