2009 Map of Ness City NE

About this map

Walnut Creek meanders across this rural section of Ness County, carving a distinct hydrological pattern through a landscape defined by the precision of the Public Land Survey System. The map reveals the late-20th and early-21st-century agricultural grid, where a network of numbered and lettered routes like S 75 Rd and E 100 Rd divide the territory into regular sections. For local historians and genealogists, the placement of Fairview Cemetery on the western edge of the quadrangle provides a vital geographic anchor for family research in this sparsely populated region. Other seasonal drainages, including Long Branch and Bazine Dry Creek, illustrate the natural drainage system that dictates the placement of farmsteads and rural infrastructure away from the floodplains.
