2014 Map of Western SE

About this map

The Saline and Jefferson County line divides this prairie landscape, where the agricultural grid of the early twenty-first century is punctuated by numerous small burial grounds and water management projects. Local history and genealogy are preserved in the locations of Old Plymouth Cem, Swanton Cem, and Saint Paul Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's rural heritage. The hydrology of the region is defined by the winding course of Swan Creek in the north and the broader basin of Cub Creek to the south. Modern infrastructure is visible through a series of flood control measures, specifically Cub Creek Reservoir 12-D, Cub Creek Reservoir 12-C, and Cub Creek Reservoir 10-A, which manage the drainage of these plains. The map provides a clear view of the section lines and rural avenues, including 574th Ave and Co Road X, that organize this part of Nebraska.
