About this map

The town of Atkinson serves as a hub for this portion of Holt County, where the grid of rural roads meets the winding path of the Elkhorn River. The settlement layout is documented in detail, showing a clear network from W Central St to the northern edge at W 5th St. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by Woodlawn Cem on the west side of town.

The surrounding landscape is defined by its water management and drainage, notably the Mill Race and the Eagle Cr Reservoir to the northeast. These features, along with the Middle Br Eagle Cr, illustrate the importance of water resources to the agricultural character of the region. The map provides a precise look at the transition from the structured blocks of the town center to the vast sections of the Nebraska plains.
