About this map

Hickman and Firth anchor this section of Southeast Nebraska, where the landscape is defined by the transition between the Middle Br Big Nemaha River and the rolling terrain of the Lancaster and Gage county line. The region is characterized by a high concentration of water management features, including several reservoirs such as Hedgefield Reservoir and the N F Big Nemaha Reservoir 23-B system, reflecting the vital role of water control in this agricultural heartland.

Smaller settlements like Holland and Panama maintain a quiet presence, each marked by local burial grounds like Holland Cem and Panama Cem. The road network, including historic routes like Stagecoach Rd and Panama Rd, connects these communities across a landscape punctuated by landmarks such as Wagon Train Lake and the N Fork Big Nemaha River. Local history is preserved in sites like Pella Cem and the Firth Cem, which serve as physical links to the families who established these rural townships.
