2014 Map of Harvard NW

About this map

The boundary between Hamilton Co and Clay Co bisects a landscape defined by the upper reaches of the Big Blue River system. This agricultural expanse is marked by the winding paths of the W Fork Big Blue River and the N Br W Fork Big Blue River, which carve subtle drainage patterns through the section-line road grid. For those tracing family history in this part of Nebraska, the map identifies several local landmarks, including the Case Cem, Greenwood Cem, and the First Evangelical Cem. The presence of the Bish Reservoir in the northwest corner suggests the ongoing importance of water management in this rural corridor. This modern survey provides an exact record of the persistent local road network, from 1st St to various numeric routes like Road 41 and Road 323, preserving the locations of rural cemeteries that are often the last physical remains of early farming communities.
