2011 Map of Emmet

About this map

The meandering Elkhorn River defines the central corridor of this Holt County landscape, carving a complex path through the Nebraska plains. The settlement of Emmet sits just north of the river's bend, where the Emmet Post Office serves as a local anchor for the surrounding rural community. The terrain is defined by its water systems, including the northern Welsh Lake and the southern flow of Holt Creek, which drains toward the Elkhorn. A grid of section roads like 874th Rd and 485th Ave facilitates agricultural access, while the historical route of the Old Hwy parallels the more modern thoroughfares. This survey provides a clear view of the geographic relationship between the town site and the natural drainage patterns of the Sandhills region.
