2016 Map of Morrison

About this map

The town of Morrison serves as the focal point of this Noble County landscape, situated at the junction of several county roads and highways. The surrounding terrain is defined by an extensive water management system, featuring numerous engineered basins such as Upper Black Bear Cr Site 2 Reservoir and Upper Black Bear Cr Site 5 Reservoir, which regulate the drainage of Black Bear Creek and its tributaries. To the west, the community of Sumner anchors the opposite side of the quadrangle near the banks of Mule Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find the Pleasant Valley Cemetery tucked away near Knob Hill, while the boundary between Noble and Pawnee counties cuts across the northeastern corner. The map reveals a highly structured rural grid, with family and local history potentially tied to named thoroughfares like Maverick, Lariat, and John Wayne.
