2012 Map of Corning

About this map

The settlement of Corning anchors the southern portion of this landscape, situated at the intersection of local routes like Old Hwy 9 and 7th St. This area of Nemaha County is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the S Fork Big Nemaha River and the Black Vermillion River, which drain the agricultural plains. To the north, the small community of Kelly sits near the headwaters of the Nemaha system. Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped with precision, such as Saint Patricks Cem and Corning Cem near the town center, while the more isolated Roots Cem is located further north along Illinois Cr. The grid-like road system, featuring the Nightingale Tpke and Gudenkauf, reflects the structured section lines characteristic of the Kansas prairie.
