2017 Map of Ravenna

About this map

Ravenna anchors this section of central Nebraska, situated north of the South Loup River where the local drainage of Mud Creek and Beaver Cr defines the landscape. The town's grid is detailed with street names like Genoa St and Syracuse St, reflecting the area's organized development near the Buffalo County Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the proximity of Highland Cem and Our Lady of Lourdes Cem offers specific points of interest on the western edge of the settlement. The map illustrates a rural economy dependent on water management, evidenced by Pease Reservoir Number 1 and the extensive network of section roads such as 385th Rd that cross the Sherman Co and Buffalo Co line. This survey captures the transition from the river bottomlands to the upland prairie, where natural watercourses like Dry Cr carve into the terrain.
