2021 Map of O'Neill SE

About this map

Holt County's sandhills and wetlands dominate this landscape southeast of O'Neill, where the S Fork Elkhorn River meanders through the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. The terrain is marked by an intricate network of small seasonal ponds and marshy depressions, typical of the Nebraska prairie's drainage patterns. Human activity is defined by a rigid section-line road system, including routes like 865th Rd and 864th Rd, which navigate around the numerous water pockets. For local history researchers, the Inman Cem stands as a primary genealogical landmark in the northeast, situated near the modern Cowboy Trl. This trail follows the path of a significant former transportation corridor, reflecting the shift from rail to recreational land use in the 21st century while maintaining the historic boundary lines of T28N R10W and T27N R10W.
