2014 Map of Newport

About this map

Newport sits as a primary settlement in this northern Nebraska landscape, organized around a small grid including Cedar St, Main St, and Mt Vernon St. The town's civic center is marked by the Post Office, which serves as a central point of reference for local family history research. The surrounding terrain is defined by the hydrological divide of the Elkhorn River system, with the N Br Elkhorn River flowing north of the townsite and the S Fork Elkhorn River winding through the southern half of the quadrangle. Significant transportation corridors intersect here, including Us-20 and Ne-137, which facilitate movement through this cattle-country region. To the southeast, the drainage of Dry Cr indicates the subtle shifts in elevation that characterize the local topography.
