2011 Map of Atkinson NW

About this map

Celia Cemetery sits as a quiet landmark within the rural landscape of Holt County, illustrating the enduring markers of local family history in this agricultural region. The terrain is defined by its water systems, primarily the meandering course of Brush Creek as it flows northward through the central portion of the sheet. In the southeastern corner, the North Branch Eagle Creek adds to the drainage network of the Sandhills transition zone. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reflects the sparse settlement patterns of north-central Nebraska, where the grid of county roads provides the primary structure for the ranching and farming communities that have long occupied these plains.
