About this map

The Elkhorn River meanders through this eastern Nebraska landscape, defining a terrain of river loops and oxbows such as Snyder Lake and Moss Lake. The village of Nickerson serves as a local hub near the confluence of Maple Creek and the river, featuring the Nickerson Post Office at its center. This 2011 survey captures the agricultural and community fabric of the area, where rural life is anchored by longstanding sites like Immanuel Cemetery and the settlement of Fontanelle.

North of the main settlements, the land remains largely defined by the drainage networks of Logan Creek Dredge, Bachelor Creek, and Clark Creek. Recreation and community gathering spaces are represented by Camp Fontanelle and Cross Arrows Camp, while the small community of Telbasta marks the northeastern portion of the sheet. The map details an extensive grid of county roads, such as Co RD-16 and Co RD-O, which connect these dispersed rural residences and agricultural tracts.
