2014 Map of Bruning

About this map

Bruning and Belvidere anchor this agricultural landscape along the Fillmore Co and Thayer Co border. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Big Sandy Creek and Dry Sandy Creek, which feed into local water features like Hinrichs Reservoir. The regional infrastructure is dominated by the north-south corridor of Us-81, intersecting with state routes like Ne-4 and a rigid grid of section roads that partition the prairie. This layout illustrates the late-twentieth-century evolution of rural Nebraska, where the small-town street plans of E Main St and 7th St contrast with the large-scale irrigation and farming patterns outside the village limits. For those researching local roots, the Keim Cem stands as a primary genealogical landmark west of the main highway.
