2021 Map of Hord

About this map

The Platte River valley in Merrick County is defined by a landscape of intricate irrigation and drainage networks, where the agricultural grid meets the natural winding paths of Prairie Cr and Silver Cr. Near the southern edge of this survey, the outskirts of Central City mark the transition from rural township sections into the county seat's urban infrastructure. The small settlement of Hord sits centrally along the local road network, serving as a landmark for the surrounding farmsteads. Local history is anchored at the Burke Cem on 14th Road, while the varying terrain of Prairie Slough in the west illustrates the subtle hydrological shifts across the plains. The map reveals a strictly organized section line road system, from W RD in the north down to O RD, illustrating the methodical division of Nebraska's prairie for modern production.
