About this map

The boundary between Cuming Co and Burt Co runs vertically through this rural Nebraska landscape, defining a region where agricultural life is shaped by a complex network of waterways. Several named creeks, including Cuming Cr, Peterson Cr, and Romberg Cr, wind through the terrain, while the eastern edge is marked by the distinct channel of the Logan Creek Dredge. This system of drainage reflects the long-standing efforts to manage the fertile soils of the Elkhorn River valley for farming.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds across the sections. The map identifies four distinct sites: Pioneer Cem, Blomgren Cem, Salem Cem, and Peterson Cem. These landmarks, often located along section roads like G Rd or E Rd, serve as anchors for the rural heritage of this farming country in the early twenty-first century.
