2014 Map of Fairfield

About this map

Fairfield anchors this Clay County landscape, where the street grid is organized around central arteries like Fairfield Ave and W 4th St. The surrounding countryside is defined by the Jeffersonian grid system, with a network of rural roads such as Road 11 and Road 32 segmenting the agricultural land. Water management is a central theme of this terrain, evidenced by the series of impoundments in the south and east, including Skalka Reservoir, Harms-Skalka Reservoir, and Fisher Reservoir Number 1. These reservoirs interact with the natural drainage of Big Sandy Cr and Buffalo Cr, illustrating the modern adaptation of the Nebraska plains to support local farming. Genealogists will find the Fairfield Cem located south of the town center, a primary landmark for tracing local family histories within this rural township.
