2017 Map of Newport NE

About this map

Kirkwood Cem stands as a primary historical landmark in this section of Rock County, situated among the drainage patterns of several perennial creeks. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and winding paths of Oak Cr, Ash Cr, and Otter Cr, which carve through the Nebraska terrain. A rigid grid of section-line roads, including 888th Rd and 461st Ave, organizes the ranching and agricultural territory. The presence of numerous small wetlands and basins across the southern half of the quadrangle suggests the high water table characteristic of this region. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring rural structure of northern Nebraska, where transportation remains tied to long-established routes like Hay Rd and Amber Rd that connect isolated homesteads and cemeteries to the broader county network.
