About this map

The village of Staplehurst serves as the focal point of this Seward County landscape, where the Big Blue River and Lincoln Creek converge. Located just north of the Staplehurst Post Office, the settlement is surrounded by several historical burial grounds including Immanuel Cemetery and Staplehurst Cemetery, providing valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing local families. Further south, the small community of Tamora sits along N Railway St, anchored by its own Tamora Cemetery.

The terrain is defined by a series of water management features, such as Dobesh-Swanson Reservoir and Richters Reservoir, along with the associated Herpolsheimer Dam and Richters Dam. Agricultural and industrial land use is evident at the Briggs Feed Yard in the southeastern quadrant. This survey reflects a quintessential Nebraska plains layout, with a precise grid of roads like Old Mill Rd and Waverly Rd connecting disparate farmsteads and rural landmarks.
