About this map

The North Fork Big Nemaha River and South Fork Big Nemaha River define the hydraulic landscape of this Richardson County region, showing a complex network of active and former watercourses. This map documents the Old Channel South Fork Nemaha River, illustrating how the waterway has been managed or altered over time near the Dawson Oil Field. Local history is anchored by rural settlements like New Salem and Nim City, alongside family-named landmarks such as the Miles Ranch. For genealogists and researchers, the placement of the Iliff Cemetery near Barneys Branch and the Wild Rose Cemetery further south provides precise locations for ancestral study. The terrain is deeply etched by numerous tributaries, including Rattlesnake Creek, Holy Creek, and Honey Creek, which feed into the primary river systems that cross the quadrangle.
