2014 Map of Hartington SW

About this map

Pleasant Valley serves as a central point in this rural landscape near the border of Knox and Cedar counties. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Norwegian Bow Cr, Bow Cr, and Pearl Cr, which carve through the agricultural grid of northern Nebraska. Cultural landmarks such as Oliver Grove Cem and Sudbeck Field provide specific points of interest for those researching local family histories or land use patterns. A dense network of section-line roads, including 880th Rd and 554th Ave, illustrates the enduring organization of the American Great Plains, where transportation remains tied to the township and range system. This 2014 survey documents the continued reliance on these rural corridors and the persistent geography of the creeks that historically dictated settlement locations in the region.
