2011 Map of Farwell

About this map

Farwell serves as the central hub of this Nebraska agricultural landscape, where the Farwell Post Office anchors a community defined by its water management and cemetery sites. The terrain is deeply marked by numerous watercourses, including Turkey Creek, Cow Creek, and Oak Creek, which are intercepted by significant engineering projects like the Farwell Regulating Dam. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several burial grounds such as the Danish Cemetery and Saint Anthony Cemetery, reflecting the area's diverse cultural roots. The landscape is also dotted with several irrigation and storage bodies like the Farwell South Reservoir and Christensen Reservoir, illustrating the critical role of water control in this plains environment. A rigid grid of local thoroughfares, including Sherman Rd and Salem Rd, provides the framework for this rural Howard County quadrangle.
