2011 Map of Farnam

About this map

Farnam sits at the intersection of local routes in this part of Dawson County, characterized by a structured grid of rural roads and essential water management. The community is anchored by the Farnam Post Office and the nearby Farnam Cemetery, reflecting the enduring civic and social foundations of the area. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of North Plum Creek and West Muddy Creek, which feed into local infrastructure such as the Farnam Reservoir and Gardner Reservoir. These features, supported by the Farnam Dam and Gardner Dam, illustrate the critical role of water storage in supporting the agricultural economy of the Nebraska plains. The map's detailed road network, including S Peckham RD and S Coline RD, highlights the connectivity between isolated farmsteads and the central village, providing a clear record of the region's 21st-century rural character.
