2011 Map of Harbine

About this map

Harbine and Ellis anchor this section of Jefferson County, where the landscape is defined by the systematic management of the Big Indian Creek and Cub Creek watersheds. The area is notable for its numerous water control structures, including the Big Indian Creek Reservoir 17-B and the Cub Creek Reservoir G-7, reflecting a highly engineered rural environment focused on conservation. Genealogists will find significant value in the local burial grounds, such as Hope Church Cemetery, Harbine Cemetery, and Ellis Cemetery, which provide vital links to the families who settled this agricultural region. The grid of section roads, from 719th Rd down to PWF Rd, demonstrates the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the Nebraska prairie, maintaining a remarkably consistent spatial organization into the 21st century.
