2014 Map of Smyrna Cemetery

About this map

Rush Cr meanders across the northern reaches of this High Plains landscape in Cheyenne County, where a disciplined grid of rural section roads defines the modern agricultural footprint. The terrain is characterized by a gradual rise in elevation toward the southwest, with the most significant relief found among the drainages that feed into the local creek system. Centrally located between Road 81 and Road 77 is the Swedish Cem, a poignant marker of the Scandinavian heritage that shaped the settlement of this portion of the Nebraska panhandle. This 2014 survey documents a quiet, stable landscape of large-scale farming and ranching, where the network of numbered routes like Road 52 and Road 40 provides the primary infrastructure for a region defined by its vast open spaces and enduring pioneer legacy.
