2011 Map of Swanton

About this map

Swanton serves as the primary hub of this rural landscape in Saline County, where the village and the Swanton Post Office sit at the intersection of a precise grid of county roads. The terrain is defined by a dense network of meandering waterways, including Swan Creek and its many tributaries. For local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of family and community landmarks such as the Waymire Cemetery and Plummers Branch Cemetery, which are situated on the higher ground between the various drainage basins. The landscape is characterized by its agricultural geometry, with fields bisected by Walnut Grove Creek and Plummers Branch. This 2011 survey illustrates the continued importance of water management and rural infrastructure in this corner of Nebraska, where the names of small creeks like Turkey Creek and Dry Creek remain key markers for land ownership and local navigation.
