About this map

Harvard sits at the northern edge of this Clay County landscape, where a dense grid of residential streets like N Harvard Ave and S Depot St meets the wide agricultural sections of the Nebraska plains. The map illustrates a highly organized township system, with arterial roads like North Ave and RD 319 carving the terrain into precise square-mile blocks. This geometry is only interrupted by the meandering paths of School Cr and Little Sandy Cr, which drain toward the southeast.

South of the main settlement, Clay Center serves as another focal point, accompanied by the Clay Center Cem. The area’s reliance on water management is evident in features like the Hultine Reservoir and various unnamed wetlands. From the northern reaches of Sutton to the rural expanses of t6n r7w, the map provides a clear record of the modern road network and land divisions that define this part of the Platte River Basin.
