About this map

Howe serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in southeastern Nebraska, situated near the boundary where Nemaha Co meets Richardson Co. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, including Hughes Cr, Coddington Cr, and the Little Nemaha River to the north. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for numerous small burial sites distributed across the townships, such as Saint Pauls Cem, Holy Cross Cem, and Bedford Cem.

The infrastructure is characterized by a strict section-line road grid, including 724 Rd and 640 Ave, which navigate the undulating contours of the plains. Water management features like Muddy Creek Reservoir Number 10 and the course of Muddy Cr in the south illustrate the intersection of natural hydrology and regional land use. This survey captures a rural community organized around its traditional cemetery sites and the persistent flow of its prairie creeks.
