USGS Topo · Published 1916About this map
The North Fork Nemaha River and South Fork Nemaha River valleys define this Richardson County landscape, where early 20th-century agriculture and civil engineering shaped the terrain. Significant water management efforts are evident through the construction of the Chicago Drainage Canal and the Quincy Drainage Canal, designed to straighten and control the winding river forks. The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad follows the river valley, connecting the established hub of Humboldt with Dawson.
