2014 Map of Emerson

About this map

Emerson sits at the unusual three-way intersection of Dixon, Dakota, and Thurston counties, anchoring a landscape shaped by rural Nebraska road grids and meandering prairie waterways. The village is well-documented with its residential core and several significant burial grounds, including Rose Hill Cem and Calvary Cem on its northwestern edge. This 2014 survey illustrates the region's reliance on a strictly rectangular network of section roads like 859th Rd and 590 Ave, which contrast sharply with the winding paths of Elk Cr and Middle Cr. Further east, the small settlement of Nacora provides a secondary point of interest along the path of Ne-35, while the secluded Jopp Cem rests near the eastern county line, offering valuable data for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of the state.
