2021 Map of Martin

About this map

Martin sits at the base of this Keith County landscape, where the sandhills of Nebraska meet the water at No-Name-Bay. This 2021 survey illustrates a transition from the agricultural uplands to the recreational and riparian zones along the shoreline. The terrain is defined by distinct depressions and rises such as Wildhorse Valley and Ackley Valley, the latter containing the small, secluded Ackley Lake. A network of rural routes, including the descriptively named Broken Axle Rd and Old Hwy 61, provide access through the varying elevations of the northern townships. The eastern portion of the sheet is drained by the winding course of Whitetail Cr, which cuts through the sandy soil towards the southern basin. The layout of roads like Haythorn Dr and Landes Rd highlights the persistent section-line grid that organizes this ranching and lakefront region.
