About this map

Wahoo sits at the western edge of this Saunders County landscape, where the confluence of Sand Creek and Wahoo Creek defines the local topography. To the north, the significant basin of Lake Wanahoo and the prominent Bodleys Hill overlook the river valley, while the Wahoo Municipal Airport and Saunders County Fairgrounds mark the community's modern infrastructure. The map details a transition from the structured street grid of Wahoo to the agricultural surroundings of Ithaca and the small settlement of Swedeburg.

Several burial sites, including the centrally located Sunrise Cemetery and Saint Francis Cemetery, provide important touchstones for local genealogical research. In the eastern reaches, the landscape is punctuated by Silver Creek as it meanders toward Bissells Lake. The presence of the Indian Mound Cemetery near Ithaca suggests a deeper historical layer to the region, complementing the later development of water management structures like the Henry Rood Dam B-3 and Swedeburg Dam 2B-1.
