2011 Map of Burr

About this map

Burr serves as the central hub of this Otoe County landscape, where the Burr Post Office anchors a community defined by its intersection of water and roadway networks. The village is situated north of the South Fork Little Nemaha River, a significant waterway that winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The surrounding agricultural lands are partitioned by a precise grid of county roads, such as Co Rd R and S 16th Rd, which connect scattered homesteads and local landmarks. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Dughman Cemetery and Hope Cemetery provides vital clues to the area's early families. Further north, the private Watermeier Airport reflects the continued modernization of rural Nebraska transportation. The terrain is further drained by several tributaries, including Muddy Creek, Little Muddy Creek, and Saunders Creek, which shape the local topography and settlement patterns.
