2017 Map of Emmet NW

About this map

Elkhorn River flows across the northern reaches of this Holt County landscape, defining a drainage system that includes Dry Cr and Holt Cr. The terrain is characterized by a high concentration of wetlands and seasonal water bodies typical of the Nebraska Sandhills periphery, which has historically influenced the placement of section-line roads such as 874 Rd and 870 Rd. The gridded transport network, composed of routes like 475 Ave and 479th Ave, reflects the systematic land divisions of the Public Land Survey System within townships T28N and T29N. This 2017 survey illustrates a sparsely settled agricultural and ranching district where the natural hydrology largely dictates the pattern of human passage and land use.
