2017 Map of Ulysses

About this map

The village of Ulysses serves as the focal point of this Butler County landscape, situated where the Big Blue River meanders through the Nebraska plains. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring rural character of the region, where the town grid is clearly defined by lettered and numbered streets such as A St and 6th St. Local genealogy is well-preserved through a concentration of burial grounds surrounding the settlement, including Saint Marys Cem, Ulysses Cem, Karpisek Cem, and Grimm Cem. The map illustrates a highly managed water system essential for agricultural life, featuring the Kratochvil Reservoir and Moravec Reservoir. These man-made features, alongside Big Weedy Cr and the N Br Big Blue River, highlight the intersection of natural drainage and modern land use along the Butler and Seward County line.
