2011 Map of Howe SW

About this map

The agricultural landscape of southeast Nebraska is defined here by the winding course of Muddy Creek and its tributaries, which dictate the placement of rural roads and homesteads. This 2011 survey captures the area's organized section lines occasionally yielding to the natural path of Little Muddy Creek as it meanders toward the southeast corner. Located in a central position above the creek's southern fork is the Pleasant View Cemetery, a key site for local genealogical research that remains a focal point for the surrounding farm community. To the northeast, the terrain is marked by the Scotch Branch drainage, completing a network of waterways that has shaped the drainage and land-use patterns of this Richardson County region for generations.
