About this map

The Big Blue River meanders through Seward County, anchoring the town of Milford and the rural communities of Ruby and Grover. This modern survey highlights a landscape where local aviation and agriculture coexist, with the Seward Municipal Airport in the north and Roth Airport further south near the river's bend. Family and community history is anchored in several traditional burial grounds including Mount Pleasant Cem, Milford Mennonite Cem, and Blue Mound Cem.

Water management is prominent across the terrain, evidenced by the Wehr-Ahlschwede Reservoir, Wagner-Meyers Reservoir, and the naturally formed Horseshoe Lake. The residential core of Milford shows a structured street grid while Riverside Park provides a dedicated recreational space along the riverbank. This map documents a stable Nebraska corridor defined by its drainage basins like Wolf Cr and Coon Cr, and a well-developed grid of county roads such as O Street Rd and Holdredge Rd.
