About this map

Tilden serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape, uniquely positioned where Antelope, Pierce, and Madison counties meet. The settlement is defined by its orientation to the Elkhorn River, which meanders through the central portion of the map, and the straight line of Front St that parallels the rail corridor. The surrounding prairie is systematically divided by a grid of rural roads, such as 848th Rd and 840th Rd, reflecting the long-established township and range system.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks including Saint Marys Cem south of the main townsite and Howard Cem situated to the northeast. The hydrology of the region is well-documented, showing the drainage of Al Hopkins Cr, Giles Cr, and Dry Cr as they feed into the Elkhorn valley. Eggers Reservoir provides a notable point of water storage in the northwestern section, illustrating the managed water resources essential to this Nebraska farming community.
