About this map

The border between Saunders Co and Lancaster Co divides this rural Nebraska landscape, where the agricultural sections of Richland, Green, and Mill meet the headwaters of Rock Creek. Mapping performed in the late 1960s captures a community defined by its township grid and watercourses, with the Chicago and North Western railway cutting across the northwest corner. The map reveals a dense network of local institutions essential to early prairie life, including School No 102 and School No 52, which served dispersed farmsteads.

Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of several burial grounds and places of worship that anchored these rural townships. The presence of both the Old Pleasant Hill Cem and the New Pleasant Hill Cem, along with Zion Cem, indicates shifting community centers over time. Religious life is marked by the Zion Ch, Cedar Hill Ch, and the Free Church, while modern infrastructure is represented by a large Pipeline corridor traversing the southern sections.
