2011 Map of Gross

About this map

The small settlement of Gross anchors this Boyd County landscape just south of the South Dakota border, positioned near the intersection of Co Hwy 40 and Oil Co Rd. This area of northern Nebraska is defined by the winding course of Whisky Creek, which meanders through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle before reaching the Missouri River in the northeast corner. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for the Gross Cemetery near the town site and the Rosedale Cemetery further south. The topography is marked by significant elevations like Ninemile Hill and the drainage of Ninemile Gulch, illustrating the transition from upland prairie to the river valley. A grid of rural roads, including Prairie Ave and 2nd Ave, structures the agricultural land surrounding the sparsely populated village.
