2011 Map of Humboldt SW

About this map

The South Fork Big Nemaha River winds across this section of Richardson County, cutting a wide valley through the rural borderlands of Nebraska and Kansas. The landscape is defined by its agricultural grid and a network of drainages, including Fourmile Creek, Easly Creek, and the Dry Branch. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of several community burial grounds, such as Bohemian Cemetery in the northwest, Athens Cemetery, and Pleasant Hill Cemetery. Institutional and recreational landmarks are visible in the southern reaches of the quadrangle, notably Cornhusker Camp and Abel Lake, which is formed by the Boy- Scouts of America Detention Dam. The presence of these named sites amidst the surrounding farmland provides a clear view of the area's social and natural geography in the early 21st century.
