2014 Map of Nickerson

About this map

The Elkhorn River meanders broadly across this portion of eastern Nebraska, forming a central valley that separates the rural settlements of Nickerson and Fontanelle. This landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the river system, where oxbows like Moss Lake and Snyder Lake sit alongside engineered waterways such as the Logan Creek Dredge. The survey captures a network of county roads, including CR-24 and CR-12, which connect the scattered farming communities and local landmarks. Genealogical interest is centered on sites such as Immanuel Cem and Hartung Cem, which serve as long-standing anchors for the surrounding townships. The intersection of natural drainage, seen in Maple Creek and Brown Cr, with modern transit routes like Us-275 illustrates the ongoing evolution of this agrarian corridor near the Dodge and Washington County line.
