2009 Map of Oberlin NE

About this map

Cedar Bluffs and its surrounding agricultural landscape dominate this Decatur County survey, showing the rural character of the High Plains in the early 21st century. The settlement sits along the winding course of Beaver Creek, where the terrain begins to break from flat plateau into the drainage systems of Rock Draw. This area is characterized by a precise section-line road network, including routes like Co RD 471 and RD 9 N, which facilitate movement between scattered farmsteads and the local community center. For genealogists, the inclusion of Cedar Bluffs Cemetery north of the townsite provides a specific point of interest for family history research. The map illustrates how local geography and infrastructure like Co RD 5 N have remained largely consistent in this corner of northwest Kansas, serving as a reliable record of modern land use and historical settlement patterns.
