About this map

Farnam serves as the central hub of this Nebraska landscape, situated precisely where the borders of Lincoln, Dawson, and Frontier counties converge. The town's grid is clearly defined by local thoroughfares such as Main St, Crockett St, and Moose St, reflecting the structured settlement of the Great Plains. Just south of the village center lies the Farnam Cem, a key landmark for local genealogical research.

The surrounding terrain is a complex network of drainage basins and water management features. Plum Cr and N Plum Cr meander through the northern sections, while W Muddy Cr and Muddy Cr drain the southern reaches. Local water storage is evidenced by the Farnam Reservoir and Gaudner Reservoir, which are vital components of the agricultural infrastructure in this tri-county border region. A systematic grid of section roads like Peckham Rd and Brushy Rd illustrates the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the Nebraska prairie.
