2011 Map of Akron

About this map

Akron sits in the northwest corner of this Boone County landscape, a small community defined by its proximity to the headwaters of regional drainages. The area is characterized by a network of waterways including Plum Creek and Silver Valley Creek, which meander through a grid of rural roads. These water sources have long been central to the local agricultural economy, evidenced by infrastructure such as Kruse Dam. Family history and local heritage are anchored by the Akron Cemetery and Dennison Cemetery, both situated along the township's section lines. The map reveals the precise layout of local infrastructure, from Dennison Rd to the regional corridor of Route 91, showing how transportation and drainage patterns influenced the placement of homesteads and community centers in this portion of Nebraska.
