2015 Map of Bern

About this map

The settlement of Bern serves as the focal point for this section of Nemaha County, located at the intersection of Main St and Mathews St. This agricultural landscape is defined by a dense network of township roads, including Bern Rd and Jilson St, which connect various family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, such as Bern Cem, Fourmile Cem, Williams Cem, and Strahm Cem, scattered across the undulating terrain. To the southeast, Sabetha City Lake provides a major water feature in a region otherwise drained by numerous small waterways like Fourmile Cr, Wolf Pen Cr, and Deer Cr. The map captures the enduring rural character of northeastern Kansas, where the grid of sections and ranges still dictates the placement of farmsteads and transport routes.
