2021 Map of Bixby

About this map

West Fork Big Blue River meanders across the northern half of this landscape, a region defined by its intersection of four Nebraska counties: Hamilton, York, Clay, and Fillmore. The settlement of Bixby is situated in the southeastern portion of the map, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural section lines. This area preserves local history through the Farmers Valley Cem, located near the river's path, and reflects modern land use with the Thieszen Reservoir and the Boardman Aerial Airport. The drainage patterns of School Cr and Elk Run reveal the subtle topography of the plains, where small waterways have shaped the development of rural roads and homestead locations. The map illustrates a highly organized grid of rural routes, from Farmers Valley Rd to numerous numbered roads, highlighting the structured settlement pattern typical of the Great Plains.
