2021 Map of Clarkson

About this map

The rolling agricultural landscape of northern Colfax Co is defined by the branching tributaries of Maple Creek. The communities of Clarkson and Howells anchor the northern tier of the sheet, where a grid of rural roads like Co RD Y and Road W navigate the local drainages. Farther south, the smaller settlement of Heun sits near the W Fork Maple Cr, illustrating the typical township-and-range settlement pattern of the eastern Nebraska plains. Near the intersection of the Stanton Co, Cuming Co, and Colfax county lines, Saint John's Nepomucene Catholic Cem stands as a focal point for local genealogical research. This contemporary survey preserves the names of early town streets, such as Marion St and Elm St, alongside the established section lines that have organized these farming communities for generations.
