About this map

The Platte River valley dominates this landscape, serving as a boundary between several Nebraska counties and shaping the local topography with its broad, braided channel and numerous islands like School Island and Murphy Island. North of the river, the settlement of Rogers sits on level ground drained by a complex network of channels including Byrne Ditch and O'Hare Ditch. This drainage system highlights the intensive agricultural management of the fertile bottomlands.

South of the river, the terrain rises toward the rolling bluffs of Indian Hill. The village of Linwood is located here, accompanied by several local burial grounds such as Dawson Cem and Linwood Hill Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The map captures the meeting of four counties—Colfax, Dodge, Saunders, and Butler—illustrating how these natural watercourses defined political boundaries and the placement of rural roads like Linwood Rd.
