About this map

Orum sits at the junction of Co RD p20 and Co RD 19, serving as a central point in this rural Washington County landscape. The area is defined by its dendritic drainage patterns, with the waters of Bell Cr and Little Bell Cr carving through the terrain alongside New York Cr and Big Papillion Cr. These waterways are supplemented by local water management features such as Mathiesen Reservoir and Sprick Reservoir, which support the agricultural character of the region.

Local history is preserved in the presence of Vacoma Cem and Gods Acre Cem, providing essential points of interest for genealogical research in this part of Nebraska. The inclusion of the Orum Aerodrome near the main settlement highlights the intersection of traditional rural life with modern local aviation. The systematic grid of county roads, including Co RD 22 and Co RD 11, reflects the enduring Public Land Survey System structure that continues to organize this landscape.
