2014 Map of Rogers

About this map

The Platte River corridor dominates this landscape, carving through the central portion of the map and creating a network of river-formed features like School Island, Sheep Island, and Murphy Island. To the north, the small settlement of Rogers sits along Us-30, surrounded by an intricate system of agricultural drainage including Byrne Ditch and O'Hare Ditch. South of the river, the terrain rises sharply from the floodplain toward Indian Hill, where the town of Linwood is located. This area is particularly rich in genealogical data, containing several burial sites such as Dawson Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Linwood Hill Cem. The southern half of the map is defined by the winding paths of Skull Cr and Duck Cr as they move toward the Platte valley, illustrating the transition from upland prairie to the fertile river bottomlands of east-central Nebraska.
