2015 Map of Baileyville

About this map

Baileyville and the eastern edge of Axtell anchor this survey of the agrarian landscape along the boundary of Marshall and Nemaha Counties. The region is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, most notably the N Fork Black Vermillion River, which winds south through the western half of the map. The settlement at Baileyville is centered near the intersection of Baileyville Rd and Nemaha St, serving as a focal point for the surrounding farming community. Evidence of the area's long-standing community roots is visible at Sacred Heart Cem and Baileyville Cem, which sit just north and west of the town center. The landscape is further etched by a series of named creeks, including Weyer Cr and Fisher Cr, which drain the rolling prairie terrain divided by a strictly rectilinear road grid of routes like Stringtown Rd and Osage Rd.
