About this map

The town of Rulo occupies a strategic position where the Missouri River meets the southeastern corner of Nebraska, reflecting the area's deep ties to river transport and flood control. This 2010 survey highlights the complex hydrology of the region, specifically where the Big Nemaha River converges with the Missouri. The landscape is defined by its water management history, evidenced by the Old Channel Big Nemaha River and numerous agricultural impoundments like Winnebago Creek Reservoir 42-3A and Bean Creek Reservoir 5-5.

Genealogists can locate family burial sites at Heater Cemetery to the north and Franklin Cemetery near the southern border, providing anchors for local family histories. The quadrangle captures the creek networks that drain the surrounding bluffs, including Canada Creek, Snake Creek, and Roys Creek, showing how the modern road network, including 340th St, navigates the river bottomlands and high ground of Richardson County.
