2014 Map of Staplehurst

About this map

Staplehurst and the surrounding Seward County countryside are defined by a grid of agricultural section roads and the winding path of the Big Blue River. This landscape is dotted with generational landmarks, including numerous burial grounds such as Staplehurst Cem, Immanuel Cem, and American Cem to the north. Further south, the settlement of Tamora sits along the Ne-80g-Link rail corridor, accompanied by Tamora Cem. The drainage patterns are clearly visible through the courses of Lincoln Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Brush Cr, which feed into local catchments like Dobesh-Swanson Reservoir and Herpolsheimer Reservoir. The prevalence of named cemeteries and family-named reservoirs highlights the deeply rooted rural community and its reliance on the local watershed for both infrastructure and tradition.
