About this map

Wahoo serves as the focal point of this late-1960s Saunders County landscape, where the confluence of rail lines and education shaped the local community. The presence of John F Kennedy College and several local institutions like the High Sch and North Ward Sch indicate a thriving municipal center. Beyond the town, the terrain is defined by the winding course of Wahoo Creek and Silver Creek, which cut through a landscape dotted with rural schools like School No 27 and School No 42.

A significant portion of the eastern survey area is occupied by the University of Nebraska Field Laboratory, highlighting the region's importance to agricultural research. Transport and industry are well-represented by the Burlington Northern railroad and several Sandpits, while local history is preserved at the Indian Mound Cem and Alma Cem. To the south, the small settlement of Swedeburg stands near the edge of the creek's drainage basin.
