2014 Map of Friend SW

About this map

Milligan anchors the southeastern corner of this agricultural landscape in Fillmore County, where the regular grid of rural roads meets the winding drainage of Turkey Creek. The terrain is defined by the gradual descent of the land toward several waterways, including the S Fork Turkey Cr, which feeds into the Cedar View Recreation Reservoir. This 2014 survey documents the community of Burress in the west and the central site of Townhall, reflecting a long-standing pattern of dispersed prairie settlement. Of particular note for genealogists and local historians is the Bohemian Brethren Cem located along Ne-41, a site that points to the Czech heritage that shaped this part of the Nebraska plains. The map provides an exacting look at the infrastructure of the region, from the residential streets of Milligan like 6th St to the extensive network of secondary roads spanning the quadrangle.
