Ulysses serves as the central hub of this eastern Nebraska landscape, situated near the confluence of the Big Blue River and its northern branch. The settlement's history is deeply inscribed in the surrounding countryside, marked by a cluster of local burial grounds including Saint Marys Cem, Ulysses Cem, and the more distant Knauber Cem and Grim Cem. This distribution of cemeteries suggests the enduring footprint of early farmstead families across the sections. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Big Blue River and the N Br Big Blue River, which carve through the plains. Man-made water features like Kratochvil Reservoir and Morovec Reservoir reflect modern water management in a region defined by agricultural drainage, while the border between Butler Co and Seward Co bisects the southern reaches of the survey.
