2011 Map of Monterey

About this map

Monterey serves as the focal point of this Cuming County landscape, a quiet settlement defined by the grid of rural roads and the winding paths of several waterways. The agricultural character of the region is punctuated by the presence of Saint Boniface Cemetery near the town site and Saint Anthony Cemetery further to the east, providing important markers for genealogical research in this part of Nebraska. The hydrology is dominated by the branches of Pebble Creek, including the North Branch Pebble Creek and South Branch Pebble Creek, which carve natural courses through the surveyed sections. In the northeast corner, McKirahan Lake and the drainage of Fisher Creek reflect the local topography. This early 21st-century survey documents the persistent rural structure of the area, where naming conventions like D Rd and River Rd define the movement of goods and people across the plains.
