2021 Map of Harvard NE

About this map

Harvard anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, positioned where the grid of RD 320 and Airport RD meets the southern boundary of the quadrangle. The surrounding landscape in Clay and Hamilton Counties is defined by the drainage basins of the W Fork Big Blue River and its northern branch, the N Br W Fork Big Blue River. This region's agricultural character is evident in the meticulously organized section lines and the presence of localized water management features like Kreutz Reservoir and Mihm Reservoir. Significant for local historians, the map preserves the locations of rural burying grounds, including the Franklin Cem and Norwegian Cem, situated north of the Co RD 1 line. The infrastructure of the area is further marked by the Harvard State Airport, occupying a large tract just north of the town center.
