2011 Map of Humboldt

About this map

The town of Humboldt serves as the focal point of this Richardson County landscape, situated along the northern banks of the North Fork Big Nemaha River. The area's agricultural and recreational character is defined by its water systems, including the serpentine paths of Whisky Run, Long Branch, and Crooked Branch. To the west, Kirkmans Cove Lake and the Kirkmans Cove Recreation Area Campground mark a significant local recreation site, while the central town grid features the Humboldt Post Office and Humboldt Cemetery. The terrain is punctuated by small-scale infrastructure such as Yearling Dam and the Yearling Reservoir. Genealogists and local historians can trace the rural distribution of family lands and community spaces, from the municipal Humboldt Lake Park Campground to the more isolated Lynchburg Cemetery to the southeast, illustrating how the community is anchored by both its watercourses and its historic civic markers.
