About this map

Meadow Grove sits along the southern bank of the Elkhorn River, anchored by the local street grid including Railroad Ave and 1st St. The surrounding landscape is defined by the river’s winding course and its associated oxbows, such as Jackson Lake and Wendts Lake. The transition from the river valley to the upland plains is marked by a series of north-south and east-west rural roads that divide the territory into a traditional section-line grid across the Pierce Co Madison Co boundary.

Genealogists and local historians can find several burial grounds serving the local farming community, including Jackson Cem, Lutheran Cem, and Deer Creek Cem. The southern portion of the map is traversed by the Cowboy Trl, which follows a former rail corridor, while the hydrology is further defined by tributaries like Buffalo Cr and Deer Cr. This survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and transportation patterns of Nebraska's heartland, where modern recreation trails now trace the paths of pioneer-era transit.
