About this map

Cedar Bluffs serves as the primary settlement hub along the Burlington Northern line in this northern Decatur County landscape. The geography is defined by the winding course of Beaver Creek, which cuts through the townships of Beaver and Sherman. This late-1970s survey illustrates a region where rural infrastructure supports agriculture and transport, evidenced by the presence of a Feedlot and a Gaging Station situated near the railroad crossing. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Cedar Bluffs Cem perched on the bluffs north of the creek, while the mapping of numerous Wells across Liberty and Olive townships reveals the importance of water management in the High Plains. The northern margin also clearly delineates the state boundary between Nebraska and Kansas.
