2014 Map of Brock

About this map

Brock and Johnson anchor this agricultural landscape in southeastern Nebraska, where the Little Nemaha River carves a broad valley through the rolling terrain. The map documents a dense network of rural infrastructure, from the small settlement of Glenrock to the southern outpost of Rohrs along Highway 136. Numerous tributaries including Houchen Cr, Longs Cr, and Ord Cr drain the uplands, occasionally collected into water management features like the Gauchat Group Reservoir and Dominey Reservoir. For the local historian or genealogist, the sheet preserves the exact locations of several community burial grounds, including Old Glenrock Cem in the east, Clifton Cem near the center, and Linden Cem further south. These landmarks, along with the section-line road grid like 731 RD and 736 RD, illustrate the persistent spatial organization of Nemaha County's farming communities.
