2017 Map of Clarkson

About this map

Clarkson and Howells anchor this agricultural landscape in eastern Nebraska, situated along the county lines where Colfax, Stanton, and Cuming meet. The terrain is defined by the drainage network of the W Fork Maple Cr and E Fork Maple Cr, which carve a series of gentle ridges and valleys across the countryside. Small-scale settlement patterns are evident at the rural junction of Heun, while the broader township-and-range system is reflected in a precise grid of roads like Co RD Y and Main St. Local heritage is preserved at sites such as Saint Johns Cem near the Cuming County border. The map illustrates a contemporary view of these established prairie communities, where the local economy remains tied to the land and the waterways that traverse the fertile plains.
