2017 Map of Palmer

About this map

Palmer serves as the primary hub in this corner of the Nebraska plains, positioned along the eastern edge of the survey where local streets like Commercial St and Zurich St define the village center. The surrounding landscape is characterized by a precise grid of rural routes, including Denton Rd, Cody Rd, and Brady Rd, which facilitate movement across the agricultural terrain. This 2017 survey reveals the intersection of Howard and Merrick counties, a border marked by a north-south line that splits the township ranges. To the west of the settlement, Rose Hill Cem provides a point of genealogical interest, while the winding course of Elk Cr breaks the geometric regularity of the section lines. The map illustrates a contemporary rural economy where modern infrastructure follows the legacy of early land divisions.
