2014 Map of Jackson

About this map

Jackson and Hubbard sit along the transitional landscape where the Missouri River floodplain meets the elevated bluffs of northeast Nebraska. This 2014 survey captures the interface between modern development at Dakota Dunes and the rural agricultural tracts defined by the Pigeon Cr Ditch and Elk Creek. The topography is sharply divided between the level bottoms near the Missouri River and the undulating hills to the west, where Saint Johns Cem and Saint Marys Cem provide important geographic points for genealogical research. The transportation network is anchored by Us-20 and Ne-35, which link these small settlements. The map illustrates how drainage features like Jones Cr and Pigeon Cr have been managed to support the region's farming heritage, while the presence of the Union Co and Dakota Co boundary near the river highlights the jurisdictional complexity of this tri-state border region.
