2009 Map of Corning

About this map

Corning anchors the southeastern corner of this Nemaha County landscape, where the local street grid including Atlantic and 4th St meets the rural road network. The region is defined by its drainage systems, most notably the South Fork Nemaha River and the Black Vermillion River, which weave through a landscape of structured agricultural sections. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, including Roots Cemetery near Illinois Creek and Saint Patrick Cemetery on the edge of town. Local transportation history is evident in the naming of rural routes such as the Old Nine Hwy and the Nightingale Tpke, while the small settlements of Centralia and Kelly appear on the western and northern fringes, respectively.
