About this map

The city of Minden occupies the southern edge of this Kearney County landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie. North of the city, the terrain is defined by a grid of rural roads and the meandering paths of several waterways, including Lost Cr, Dry Cr, and Cottonwood Cr. The irrigation needs of the region are evidenced by the presence of the Phelps County Canal and the Nielsen Reservoir.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks such as Liberty Cem and White Hill Cem situated in the rural townships north of the city. The map also identifies Pioneer Village Field, a notable local landmark near the northern outskirts of the settlement. The rectilinear road system, with numbered and lettered routes like 32 RD and S RD, underscores the organized land division characteristic of this Nebraska plains territory.
