2014 Map of Tobias

About this map

Tobias sits at the intersection of local routes in a landscape defined by its agricultural heritage and the tributaries of the Swan Creek system. The town is the central hub of this quadrangle, surrounded by several historically significant burial grounds that speak to the area's early settlement patterns. Among these are the Tobias Cem, Zion Lutheran Cem, and Old Zion Cem, while Atlanta Cem is located further north. This collection of cemeteries, often situated on high ground near water sources like S Fork Swan Cr and N Fork Swan Cr, provides vital data for genealogists tracing family histories in the eastern Nebraska plains. The physical geography is marked by the gradual drainage of Walnut Cr and Spring Cr, which break the regular grid of county roads that otherwise dominate the Saline and Fillmore County line.
