About this map

The agrarian landscape of Nuckolls County, Nebraska, is defined by a grid of rural roads and the drainage networks of Oak Creek and Liberty Creek. This 2017 survey details the area surrounding the village of Lawrence, where local infrastructure like Dolnicek Reservoir and Mazour Reservoir supports the region's agricultural requirements. The map serves as a valuable resource for genealogists, marking the locations of historical burial sites such as Oak Creek Cem and Presbyterian Cem.

Smaller settlements and community hubs like Rosemont and Saint Stephens anchor the surrounding townships, which span across the borders of Adams and Webster counties. The terrain is marked by a series of seasonal and permanent watercourses, including Crooked Creek and Moorehouse Creek, which dictate the local topography and land use. The presence of State Hwy 78 provides a primary north-south artery through this traditionally farm-focused corridor.
