About this map

Swanton sits in the southwestern portion of Saline County, where the landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of the Big Blue River watershed. The grid of country roads, including Ne-41 and Ne-76d-Spur, carves through agricultural lands drained by several significant waterways. The southern reaches of the map are particularly marked by the winding paths of Walnut Grove Cr and Swan Creek, which converge as they flow toward the east.

Genealogical interest is found in the rural burial grounds that serve this community, specifically Waymire Cem to the northwest and Plummers Branch Cem located southeast of the main settlement. These landmarks, along with named drainage features like Plummers Br and Turkey Cr, provide essential geographic markers for researchers tracing family landholdings and the development of this Nebraska prairie township.
