2012 Map of Crab Orchard

About this map

Crab Orchard serves as the central hub of this agricultural region in Johnson County, Nebraska. The village landscape is defined by the diagonal passage of Yankee Creek, which flows through the heart of the settlement. To the southwest of the town center, the Crab Orchard Cemetery stands as a significant point of interest for local history and genealogy. The surrounding countryside is organized by a precise section-line road network, including Sterling Rd and Lewiston Rd, which navigate around a series of water management features. A string of reservoirs along Mud Creek, including Mud Creek Reservoir 2-D, Mud Creek Reservoir 2-F, and Mud Creek Reservoir 2-H, illustrates the critical role of water control in this plains environment. These reservoirs and the varied branches of Turkey Creek and Laffins Branch shape the drainage patterns of this rural landscape.
