2014 Map of Farnam

About this map

The village of Farnam sits at the convergence of Lincoln, Dawson, and Frontier counties, serving as a remote central point in this agricultural region of Nebraska. The landscape is defined by its dramatic drainages, including the steep-walled Midway Canyon to the north and Horseshoe Canyon to the south. Water management is central to the area's utility, marked by features such as Farnam Reservoir and Gardner Reservoir, which collect runoff from the local creek systems. Significant watercourses like Plum Cr and W Muddy Cr carve through the terrain, dictating the placement of rural roads. Local history is anchored by the Farnam Cem located just south of the town center, while a network of rural routes such as Ne-23 and Ne-47 connect these scattered canyon-land landmarks to the wider state.
