2014 Map of Corning

About this map

The Missouri River serves as a winding natural boundary between Holt County and Richardson County, defining the border between Missouri and Nebraska. Along its eastern banks, the landscape is shaped by the complex hydrology of the Tarkio River and the Old Channel Tarkio River, which illustrate the shifting courses of these waterbodies over time. In the northern reaches, the small settlement of Corning is established near the base of dramatic terrain features like Pigeon Ridge and Mill Hollow. Several family and local burial grounds, including the Arago Cemetery, Tharp Cemetery, and Williams Cemetery, are found throughout the area, providing clear points of interest for genealogical research. The region's agricultural character is further emphasized by numerous reservoirs, such as the Fischer-Rieger Reservoir and the Winnebago Cr Reservoir 4-4, which support the local farm economy near the Lonesome Sky Airport.
