2011 Map of Emerick

About this map

Emerick serves as the quiet anchor of this agricultural landscape in Madison County, where the surveyed grid of section roads meets the natural drainage of Deer Creek and the southern reaches of Battle Creek. The rural character of the era is defined by large land tracts and established family burial grounds, including Hutchins Cemetery to the north and Osborn Cemetery near the southern boundary. Water management is a visible priority for the local farms, evidenced by the infrastructure at Klein Reservoir and Klein Dam. This 2011 survey records the persistent section-line road network, such as 833 Rd and 541 Ave, which has shaped local navigation and property boundaries for generations. The area remains dedicated to a pastoral economy, with the few named landmarks serving as vital touchstones for family historians tracing roots in this corner of Nebraska.
