About this map

Monterey serves as the focal point for this agrarian section of Cuming County, where the landscape is defined by the branching waterways of Pebble Cr. The township divisions of t22n r5e, t22n r6e, t21n r5e, and t21n r6e organize a strictly gridded road network, from J Rd in the north to B Rd in the south. This systematic layout highlights the enduring structure of Nebraska's rural sections, where local life centered around small community hubs and their corresponding burial grounds.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific sites such as Saint Boniface Cem near the town center and Saint Anthony Cem to the east. Water features like McKirahan Lake and the various tributaries including N Br Pebble Cr, S Br Pebble Cr, and Fisher Cr break the geometric regularity of the section lines, illustrating how the natural drainage of the Elkhorn River basin influenced the placement of farms and cemeteries.
