About this map

Saronville and the eastern edge of Sutton anchor this agricultural landscape in Clay County, Nebraska. The map reveals a strictly organized section-line road grid, including Us-6 and Ne-41, which facilitates travel across the drainage basins of School Cr, Turkey Cr, and Little Sandy Cr. This drainage network is supplemented by local water management features such as Percival-Erickson Reservoir and Schmer Reservoir, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on irrigation and water storage for prairie farming.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including the Saronville Cem, Saron Cem, and Verona Cem. The presence of the Verona Baptist Cem highlights the community's early denominational history. This survey provides a clear view of the area's transition from early 20th-century settlement patterns into a modern agricultural hub, with established transport corridors like Road 116 and Road 31 connecting isolated farmsteads to the central towns.
