About this map

The border of Douglas Co and Edgar Co defines the eastern portion of this landscape, where the prairie transitions into a network of small agricultural settlements and drainage systems. Newman serves as the primary hub in the west, with its grid of streets such as N Broadway St and W Green St providing a clear contrast to the surrounding section-line roads. Small community markers like McCown, Hughes, and the northern outpost of Palermo reveal the distributed nature of local commerce and residency during this era.

Water management is central to the land's utility, shown through a series of named watercourses and man-made improvements. Brushy Fork winds across the central territory, joined by tributaries including Pope Br, Gilkey Br, and McCown Br. To the north, Jordan Slough and the Pleasant Ridge Cem offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in the rural townships between Newman and Hume.
