2014 Map of Rising City

About this map

Rising City sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Butler County, where the township's grid is defined by a dense network of country roads. The N Br Big Blue River meanders across the northern and central sections of the quadrangle, carving subtle drainages through the prairie. For genealogists, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds including Fairview Cem and Circle Mound Cem located just north of the city limits, and Rising Sun Cem situated further south. The transportation infrastructure is anchored by the intersection of Ne-92 and the NE-12E-Spur, while the Polk Co and Butler Co boundary line runs along the western edge, following Road A and Us-81. This survey provides a clear view of the rural Nebraska homestead and road patterns established over generations.
