About this map

Saint Benedict serves as the focal point of this agricultural landscape in Nemaha County, defined by the winding paths of the South Fork Big Nemaha River and its numerous tributaries. The rural character of the area is emphasized by a grid of section roads including 232nd Rd and 200th Rd, which navigate the gentle terrain between Turkey Creek and Wildcat Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the preservation of several landmark burial sites, such as Saint Mary's Cem located right in the heart of the primary settlement. Further afield, the Scotch Valley Cem and the Friedens United Church of Christ Cem stand as markers of the community's early development and religious heritage. The drainage patterns of smaller waterways like Burger Cr, Deer Cr, and Harris Cr illustrate the natural topography that has influenced land use in this part of Kansas for generations.
