2011 Map of Hayes Center NW

About this map

Blackwood Creek meanders through the heart of this agricultural landscape in Lincoln County, Nebraska, defining the local drainage alongside Little Blackwood Creek. The rural topography is organized around a strictly surveyed grid of county roads, which reflect the family names and legacy of the local farming community. Notable landmarks like Pleasant View Cemetery sit along these routes, serving as historical anchor points for the surrounding township. This 2011 survey captures the area at a time when traditional gravel and dirt road networks, such as W Ingham Rd and W Gibson Rd, remained the primary infrastructure for navigating the high plains. The map's detail is useful for identifying specific homestead access points and property boundaries in this sparsely populated region north of Hayes Center.
