2011 Map of Ohiowa

About this map

Ohiowa and Milligan anchor this portion of Fillmore County, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural and cultural heritage of the Nebraska plains. The landscape is structured by a precise section-line road grid, including Road O and Road 24, which circumnavigates the drainages of South Fork Turkey Creek, Little Sandy Creek, and Walnut Creek. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, such as the Bohemian National Cemetery, which speaks to the specific immigrant history of the region, alongside the Chelsea Cemetery, Pioneer Cemetery, and the denominational distinction between the North Lutheran Cemetery and South Lutheran Cemetery. These sites, along with the Ohiowa Post Office and Milligan Post Office, mark the civic heart of these rural communities as they appeared in the early 21st century. The presence of the Sieber Reservoir in the southwest corner illustrates local water management within this well-ordered prairie terrain.
