About this map

Walthill marks the southeastern corner of this Nebraska landscape, where the town's grid meets the agricultural reaches of Thurston County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the wandering paths of N Omaha Cr, Cow Cr, and Morgan Cr. This 2014 survey documents a mature rural infrastructure of section-line roads, such as Mathewson Rd and Balltown Rd, that navigate the undulating loess hills typical of this Missouri River upland region.

Genealogists will find interest in the Pilcher Cem, situated along 27th Rd south of Cow Cr. The map's detail provides a clear view of how the modern transportation corridor, including several arterial lettered avenues like D Ave and K Ave, integrates with the older topography of the Big Slough Cr basin. This intersection of natural hydrology and a strictly surveyed grid reflects a century of agricultural adaptation in northeast Nebraska.
