2017 Map of Herman

About this map

The village of Herman stands at the heart of this landscape along the border of Burt and Washington counties, surrounded by a complex network of agricultural waterways. The drainage system here is particularly dense, featuring the engineered County Line Ditch, Cameron Ditch, and Fish Cr Ditch, which work in tandem with natural flows like New York Cr and Whittier Cr. This intersection of natural hydrology and human-managed irrigation reflects the intensive agricultural heritage of eastern Nebraska. For those tracing local family history, the map identifies significant sites such as the Herman Cem just south of the village and the Thone Cem to the southwest, while Herman School Rd points toward the community's early social infrastructure. Further east, the terrain levels out near Burns Lake, showing the transition toward the Missouri River floodplain.
