2021 Map of Howe SW

About this map

The rolling agricultural landscape of Southeast Nebraska is defined here by the drainage network of Muddy Cr and its tributaries. This 2021 survey shows a highly organized section-line road system crossing the border between Nemaha and Richardson counties. The terrain is deeply carved by watercourses like Little Muddy Cr, Longs Cr, and Scotch Br, creating a pattern of ridges and valleys that dictate the placement of local infrastructure. Near the southern edge, the Pleasant View Cem serves as a significant landmark for genealogical research, situated along the ridge between the forks of the creek system. The map documents the enduring rural character of the region, where the intersection of gravel roads such as 722 RD and 635 Ave provides the primary framework for local travel through these farming townships.
