2017 Map of Syracuse

About this map

Syracuse serves as the primary hub of this Otoe County landscape, where the residential grid meets a complex network of agricultural management features. The town’s streets, including Mohawk St and Chestnut St, are concentrated south of where Highway 2 bisects the region. The surrounding prairie is defined by an extensive system of flood control and irrigation, evidenced by the high density of numbered reservoirs such as Brownell Cr Reservoir 11-A and Ziegler Cr Reservoir Z-16. This infrastructure follows the natural drainage of the Little Nemaha River and its various tributaries like Wolf Cr and the N Fork Little Nemaha River. Local genealogy and history are preserved at Park Hill Cem on the northern edge of the settlement and the more isolated Warner Cem to the northeast, marking the early burial grounds of the area's farming families.
