1968 Map of Obert

About this map

Obert serves as the primary hub of this Cedar County landscape, surveyed in the late 1960s as part of the Missouri River Basin development program. The topography is defined by the winding drainages of Ames Creek, Lime Creek, and East Bow Creek, which carve through the loess hills of northeast Nebraska. Evidence of early rural life is preserved through several localized schoolhouses, such as Brookey Bottom Sch and Sunny Lea Sch, alongside the Historical Monument positioned near the northern bluffs. The map captures the agricultural and extractive character of the era, noting small-scale Sandpit operations and several rural burying grounds including Obert Cem and Lime Creek Cem. This survey provides a precise record of the road network and property divisions within Prec 6 and Prec 7 before modern development altered the rural school and township structure.
