About this map

Murray serves as a central hub in this agricultural region of Cass County, defined by a network of drainage systems including Eightmile Creek and Fourmile Creek. The landscape transition from traditional prairie farming to modern water management is evident in the numerous detention dams and reservoirs, such as Topliff Reservoir and Schlichtemeier Reservoir Number 1. For local historians, the placement of the Murray Post Office and several family-named burial grounds like Horning Cemetery and Youngs Cemetery provide anchor points for genealogical study.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent, with the Plattsmouth Municipal Airport and several private landing strips like Nolte Farms Airport dotting the township lines. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling Beaver Lake, reflecting the shift toward residential and recreational development. Smaller named settlements like Mynard and Todd appear along the section roads, preserving the names of early local communities during the early twenty-first century.
