1979 Map of Swedish Cemetery

About this map

The Swedish Cem anchors the northern portion of this Nebraska landscape, providing a primary point of reference for genealogists and local historians studying Cheyenne County. The terrain is defined by the extraction economy of the late 1970s, with a widespread Oil Field and numerous Oil Wells peppered across the sections. The map reveals the systematic development of the plains, where isolated industrial sites like a Gravel Pit and scattered Oil Well locations sit amidst the open township and range grid. This record of human activity illustrates how energy exploration and rural settlement patterns intersected in the High Plains during this era.
