About this map

Swanton Cemetery and Old Plymouth Cemetery anchor this rural landscape in Saline County, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of avenues and roads. The terrain is marked by the sophisticated water management of the Cub Creek watershed, featuring a series of catchments including Cub Creek Reservoir 12-D, Cub Creek Reservoir 12-C, and Cub Creek Reservoir 10-A. These engineered bodies of water, supported by structures like Floodwater Retarding Dam 12-C, illustrate the mid-to-late 20th-century efforts to stabilize the drainage of Swan Creek and the larger Cub Creek system. Small country burial grounds such as Megli Cemetery, Emmanuel Cemetery, and Saint Paul Cemetery are scattered throughout the sections, serving as vital landmarks for genealogists tracing early prairie families in this part of Nebraska.
