2021 Map of Newport NE

About this map

Kirkwood Cem stands as a primary landmark in this rural section of Rock County, serving as a point of reference for researchers tracing the early families of the Nebraska Sandhills. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral flow of several waterways, including Oak Cr, Ash Cr, and Otter Cr, which carve through the terrain and influence the placement of the local section lines. This 2021 survey documents the grid of section roads that provide access to this ranching country, such as Amber Rd and Hay Rd. These corridors follow the established township boundaries of t32n r18w, t32n r17w, t31n r18w, and t31n r17w. The map provides a clear view of the sparse rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use in this part of north-central Nebraska for generations.
