2021 Map of Horace

About this map

The small settlement of Horace occupies a central position on this Greeley County landscape, situated where the drainage of Wallace Cr begins to flatten toward the valley of the North Loup River. The area is characterized by a high density of section roads and avenues, such as Ericson-Scotia Ave and Wallace Creek Ave, which define the agricultural grid typical of the Nebraska Sandhills periphery. In the northeast, the Pleasant Hill Cem stands as a significant point of local history, overlooking the headwaters of the eastern creek branches. The drainage pattern of Shephard Cr and Fish Cr illustrates the erosional transition between the higher upland plateaus and the fertile river basin to the southwest, a geography that dictated the placement of early homesteads and transport routes.
