About this map

Staplehurst stands near the confluence of the Big Blue River and Lincoln Cr in this recent look at Seward County’s agricultural heartland. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of several waterways, including Brush Cr and Cottonwood Cr, which feed into local catchments like Herpolsheimer Reservoir and Dobesh-Swanson Reservoir. This area maintains a strong connection to its pioneer roots, visible through a high density of rural burial grounds such as American Cem, Anderson Cem, and the Immanuel Cem.

Further south, the village of Tamora is positioned along a grid of section-line roads, including N Railway St and S Railroad St, reflecting its origins as a rail-side settlement. The transition from these small hubs to the surrounding fields is mapped through a network of thoroughfares like Branched Oak Rd and McKelvie Rd, illustrating the modern continuity of the region’s long-standing township and range structure.
