2017 Map of Orchard NE

About this map

Verdigre Creek and its various tributaries, including Merriman Cr and Cottonwood Cr, carve a complex drainage pattern through the Nebraska landscape along the Knox and Antelope County line. This 2017 survey reveals a rural terrain structured by a rigid section-line road network, where local history is anchored by sites such as Olcott Cem and Millerboro Cem. Water management is a primary feature of the landscape, evident in the Hanneman Reservoir and the Rod and Gun Club Reservoir situated near the county boundary. In the southwestern reaches, the E Br Verdigre Cr feeds into Grove Lake, illustrating the intersection of natural hydrology and local recreational or agricultural infrastructure. The map serves as a precise record of late-20th and early-21st-century land divisions and rural landmarks.
