2014 Map of Laurel

About this map

Laurel serves as the primary hub in this corner of Northeast Nebraska, situated where several branches of the Logan Creek watershed converge. The town's grid is anchored by streets like Alma St and Elm St, with the Laurel Municipal Airport and Laurel Cem defining its outskirts. The map illustrates a landscape heavily modified by drainage engineering, notably the Logan Cr Dredge which cuts a straight path across the terrain south of town. This feature, along with the Old Channel Logan Creek, reveals how the natural hydrology of Middle Logan Cr and Baker Cr was altered to support the surrounding agricultural grid. The boundary between Cedar Co and Dixon Co runs along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, following the section lines that define the local road network.
