About this map

Elgin serves as the primary population center on this northeastern Nebraska landscape, showing a grid of residential streets including Pine St, Oak St, and Maple St. The town is supported by the nearby Koinzan Airport and a vast network of section roads that divide the agricultural terrain. To the south, the smaller settlement of Raeville sits near the border between Antelope Co and Boone Co.

The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of several prairie streams, notably Blacksnake Cr and Cedar Cr, which carve subtle valleys through the high plains. The transition from Antelope County into Boone County is marked by a shift in the numbering of the rural road system, from the numbered avenues of the north to the 200th-series avenues of the south, illustrating the coordinated surveying of this farming region.
