2011 Map of Palmyra

About this map

The village of Palmyra serves as the primary hub in this eastern Nebraska landscape, situated near the winding course of the Little Nemaha River. The township's layout is defined by a rigid grid of rural roads, including Bennet Rd and Yankee Hill Rd, which connect scattered farmsteads across the prairie. Local history is anchored by several sites of repose, such as Saint Leos Cemetery and Rosewood Cemetery north of the village, and Mount Zion Cemetery to the south. Water management is a visible priority for the agricultural community, evidenced by Mueller Reservoir and the Mueller Dam. The presence of the Clearidge Airport and the Palmyra Post Office indicates a settled infrastructure that supports both local transportation and regional communication. Drainage for the surrounding fields is provided by a network of waterways including Hooper Creek, Silver Creek, and Russell Creek, which feed into the larger river system.
