2014 Map of Palmyra

About this map

The Little Nemaha River winds through this agricultural landscape on the border of Lancaster and Otoe Counties, shaping the development of Palmyra in the northeastern corner of the map. This 2014 survey captures a rural environment where modern residential developments like Woodland Hills contrast with established farmstead grids and local cemeteries. Genealogists and local historians can find several important burial sites, including Rosewood Cem and Saint Leos Cem near the town center, as well as the more isolated Mt Zion Cem to the south. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems, including Hooper Cr and Silver Cr, which flow toward the river. To the southwest, the Mueller Reservoir serves as a notable hydrologic feature amidst an extensive network of rural roads such as Wittstruck Rd and Roca Rd that follow the section lines of the Nebraska prairie.
