2017 Map of Wilber

About this map

Wilber serves as a prominent hub in this corner of Saline County, where the grid of city streets gives way to the winding course of the Big Blue River. This waterway is the central geographic feature of the area, creating a complex floodplain that contrasts with the surrounding agricultural sections. The map reveals a high density of rural cemeteries, such as the Cecho-Slovansky Cem and Sunny Side Cem near the town center, which reflect the heritage and early settlement patterns of the local community. Further south, De Witt is positioned near the junction of the river and Turkey Creek, marking another vital concentration of residence and commerce. Numerous man-made water bodies like Huneke Reservoir and Schuerman Reservoir illustrate the 21st-century management of the prairie landscape, while the county boundary between Saline Co and Gage Co bisects the eastern reaches of the quadrangle.
