About this map

Herkimer serves as a central point of reference in this corner of Marshall County, situated where Raemer Cr meets the larger drainage patterns of the region. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Big Blue River in the southeast and the intricate network of tributaries like Horseshoe Creek and Indian Cr that carve through the section lines. This rural environment is anchored by several long-standing community sites, including the Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Cem near the town center and the Zion Lutheran Cem further north.

A systematic grid of county roads, including Frontier Rd and Granite RD, provides access to the small settlements and agricultural tracts. The area around Lone Elm in the northeast remains focused on the drainage of Deer Cr, illustrating a persistent pattern of land use where homesteads and local landmarks like the Deer Creek Cem are positioned relative to both the surveyed road system and the natural flow of the local creeks.
