2021 Map of Amelia

About this map

Amelia stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Holt County, situated amidst a landscape defined by the winding course of the S Fork Elkhorn River. The river system is fed by seasonal tributaries including Jory Cr and Dry Cr, which carve through the Nebraska Sandhills terrain. This modern survey illustrates a rural infrastructure built upon a grid of section-line roads, such as Hickory Rd and various numbered avenues, which facilitate movement through the ranching country of the eastern Sandhills. The mapping detail highlights the relationship between the sparse human footprint and the complex hydrology of the Elkhorn River's southern fork, a vital waterway for the region's agricultural and ecological systems.
