2011 Map of Oak

About this map

Oak and Nora serve as the primary social and economic hubs of this Nuckolls County landscape, where the Little Blue River and its various tributaries define the rural layout. The map details a sophisticated water management system of private and agricultural importance, featuring numerous dams and reservoirs named for local families, including Scroggin, Bauman, Frahm, Williams, and Biltoft. These water features, alongside Elk Creek, Oak Creek, and Turtle Creek, trace the natural drainage patterns into the Little Blue valley. Evidence of local industry and community life is found at the Oak Mill and the respective post offices in both settlements. Genealogists will find particular value in the locations of Nora Cemetery and Spring Creek Cemetery, which anchor the history of these farming communities during the early 21st century.
