2011 Map of Neligh

About this map

Neligh serves as the focal point of this Antelope County landscape, situated where Antelope Creek and Hail Creek converge with the winding Elkhorn River. The map illustrates the town's organized grid south of the river, featuring the Neligh Post Office and the riverside Laurel Hill Cemetery. This 2011 survey documents a mix of modern infrastructure and long-standing transport corridors, including the Cowboy Trl, a recreational conversion of a historic rail line that cuts diagonally across the river valley. The surrounding terrain is defined by a rigid section-line road network, such as 857th Rd and 528th Ave, which delineates the vast agricultural tracts typical of the Nebraska plains. Smaller waterways like Belmer Creek further articulate the drainage patterns of this prairie region, showing how the local topography influenced the placement of original homestead roads.
