2018 Map of Bern

About this map

Bern stands as the primary community in this portion of Nemaha County, characterized by a regular grid of residential streets including Jilson St and Mathews St. The surrounding landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Fourmile Cr, Wolf Pen Cr, and Deer Cr, which carve a rolling topography through the agricultural heartland. A significant local landmark, Sabetha City Lake, occupies the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for water management and recreation in the area. Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds that serve the rural population, including Bern Cem just north of town, Fourmile Cem along Penn Ave, and Williams Cem further south. The map documents the persistent township and range system, with section lines marked by an extensive network of gravel and paved roads like Bern Rd and Church Rd.
