About this map

The Poole settlement on the northern bank of the South Loup River serves as the focal point for this Buffalo County landscape. As a hub for the surrounding agricultural community, the village includes the Poole Post Office and sits near the intersection of several local thoroughfares like Poole Rd and Keystone Rd. The survey reveals a terrain defined by a network of waterways, including Cedar Creek, Sand Creek, and Sweet Creek, which drain the prairie toward the river valley.

Several local landmarks provide significant interest for genealogists and family historians. The map identifies three distinct burial grounds: Majors Cemetery, Saint Joseph Cemetery, and Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, each serving different clusters of the rural population. Notable hydrological features include the Skochdopole Reservoir, held by the Skochdopole Dam, illustrating how water management has shaped the local geography in this part of Nebraska.
