2012 Map of Herkimer

About this map

The settlement of Herkimer and the nearby Lone Elm area are central to this portion of Marshall County, situated within a landscape defined by the drainage of the Big Blue River. This region exhibits a traditional midwestern grid of local roads, such as Arrowhead Rd and Bison Rd, which overlay a network of winding waterways including Indian Creek and Deer Creek. For those exploring local family history, the map provides precise locations for Zion Cemetery, Deer Creek Cemetery, and Immanuel Cemetery, all of which serve as landmarks in this agricultural setting. The convergence of numerous named creeks like Horseshoe Creek and Mountain Creek into the Big Blue River illustrates the importance of these water sources to the local geography and historical settlement patterns.
