2014 Map of Orum

About this map

Orum serves as a small focal point in this agricultural landscape of Washington County, defined by a network of creeks and small upland reservoirs. The terrain is drained by several significant waterways, including Bell Cr, Little Bell Cr, and New York Cr, which flow through the rolling sections of the quadrangle. For those researching local family histories, several burial sites are clearly marked, such as Vacoma Cem in the northern portion and the distinctively named Gods Acre Cem further south. The map also highlights the area's rural aviation infrastructure with the Orum Aerodrome, located just south of the main settlement. Small-scale water management is evident through features like Mathiesen Reservoir and Sprick Reservoir, illustrating the localized irrigation and conservation efforts essential to this Nebraska farming community during the early 21st century.
