About this map

Waterbury serves as the primary hub in this corner of Northeast Nebraska, situated along the undulating drainage basins that define the local topography. This 2017 survey captures the intersection of rural life and natural hydrology, where the small settlements of Goodwin and Willis are linked by a network of sectional roads and the path of State Spur 26. The landscape is heavily carved by a series of creeks, including Elk Cr, Otter Cr, and Pigeon Cr, which dictate the placement of local thoroughfares and homesteads.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific burial sites at the Wood Cem and Marquis Cem, providing important markers for family research in this agricultural region. The map also documents the transition from Dixon County into Dakota County, marked by the Dixon Co and Dakota Co boundary line. Named routes like Pioneer Trl and E Sarpy Rd weave through the township structure, tracing the established paths of travel that have connected these prairie communities for generations.
