2014 Map of Orchard NW

About this map

S Br Verdigre Cr and Big Springs Cr carve through this agricultural landscape at the border of Knox and Antelope Counties. The 2014 survey documents a region defined by its drainage systems, including the Hathaway Slough and the winding course of Verdigre Cr. Evidence of early community settlement persists through the placement of Enterprise Cem in the north and Pleasant View Cem near the southern boundary, markers that often indicate the locations of former school districts or community centers. The map also shows Howard Reservoir and several named tributaries such as Cottonwood Cr and Hay Cr, illustrating the vital water network supporting this rural Nebraska terrain. A strictly gridded road system, featuring routes like 874 RD and 866th RD, dictates the movement across the land, connecting these isolated water features and historic burial grounds.
