2017 Map of Farwell

About this map

Farwell sits in the northeastern corner of this landscape, surrounded by a precise grid of rural roads such as 14th Ave and Wausau Rd that define the agricultural character of Howard and Sherman counties. This 2017 survey highlights an extensive network of water management and drainage, with the Farwell South Reservoir, Christensen Reservoir, and Krogh Reservoir providing essential water storage for the surrounding prairie. For genealogists and local historians, several community landmarks are documented throughout the township sections, including the Danish Cem, Saint Anthony Cem, Kelso Cem, and Ebenezer Cem. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous watercourses like Turkey Creek and Oak Cr, which carve through the high plains topography of central Nebraska.
