2014 Map of Amelia

About this map

The small unincorporated community of Amelia serves as the focal point of this Holt County landscape, situated near the headwaters of the S Fork Elkhorn River. This high-plains terrain is defined by a strict section-line road grid, where numeric routes like 857th Rd and 477th Ave intersect to connect remote farmsteads and ranchlands. The hydrology of the region is centered on the meandering course of the south fork and the intermittent drainage of Dry Cr, reflecting the semi-arid environment of the Nebraska Sandhills. The network of local thoroughfares, including named paths such as Hickory Rd, highlights the structured land division that has governed Nebraska's agricultural development since the late 19th century.
