About this map

Du Bois serves as the primary settlement in this corner of Pawnee County, situated where the South Fork Big Nemaha River winds through the southern Nebraska landscape. The village layout is defined by Walnut St, Pine St, and Locust St, reflecting a traditional gridiron plan common to regional agricultural hubs. The surrounding countryside is heavily dissected by tributaries including Lores Br and Dry Br, which flow toward the river valley.

Several reservoirs, such as South Fork Reservoir 11-9 and South Fork Reservoir 4-2, dot the terrain, indicating managed water resources for the area's farming operations. For those researching local family history, the map identifies three distinct burial grounds: DuBois Cem, Saint Peters Cem, and Cincinnati Cem. The latter is positioned near the Nebraska State Line Rd, marking the historic boundary between Nebraska and Kansas.
