About this map

The southern outskirts of York anchor the northern edge of this Nebraska landscape, where the grid of the city transitions into the fertile agricultural plains of York County. The hydrology of the region is defined by the meandering Beaver Creek and the West Fork Big Blue River, which flows through the southern reaches near Sacks Lake. Water management is evident at the Wochner Dam and its associated Wochner Reservoir, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural sections.

Genealogists will find a significant number of burial sites preserved here, including Greenwood Cemetery, Saint Josephs Cemetery, Vernon Cemetery, and the Holoch Cemetery near the river. The small settlement of Knox is also represented, situated near the Knox Landing Airport. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of municipal growth and the long-standing farming infrastructure that characterizes the plains just south of the city center.
