2017 Map of Hartington SW

About this map

Pleasant Valley sits at the northern edge of this Nebraska landscape, where the rolling agricultural terrain of Cedar County is defined by the branching waters of Bow Cr and Norwegian Bow Cr. The map reveals a strictly gridded section system typical of the Great Plains, with a network of rural routes like 882nd Rd and 554th Ave providing access to isolated farmsteads. Near the center of the sheet, the Oliver Grove Cem serves as a quiet landmark for local genealogists tracing family roots in this rural precinct. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Pearl Cr winds through the fields, illustrating the subtle drainage patterns that dictated the placement of homesteads and grazing lands in this portion of the state.
