2021 Map of Bruning

About this map

Bruning and Belvidere anchor this central Nebraska landscape, which is defined by the meandering courses of Big Sandy Creek and Dry Sandy Creek. The map documents a predominantly agricultural grid system, where the township boundaries of t5n r3w and t4n r2w meet at the county line between Fillmore County and Thayer County. A notable point for genealogists is the Keim Cemetery, located west of the main north-south corridor. The terrain is relatively flat, punctuated by the Hinrichs Reservoir and subtle elevation changes around the creek beds. This modern survey shows the evolved street plans of the local settlements, including the intersection of Main Street and Voss Street in Bruning, reflecting the enduring layout of these rural communities.
