2012 Map of Parker NE

About this map

The Vermillion River and its western branch, the W Fork Vermillion River, dominate the drainage patterns of this Turner County landscape. This 2012 survey captures a strictly organized agricultural grid, where the prairie is partitioned by numbered thoroughfares like 269th St and 455th Ave. A solitary anchor for local family history appears at the northern edge: Wellington Cem, situated near the headwaters of Elce Cr. The map details the intricate network of prairie streams including Camp Cr, Long Cr, and Beaver Cr as they move toward the larger river system. Human modification of the water table is evidenced by the Liberty Ditch in the southwest corner, a feature common in regions where managed drainage is essential for productive field cultivation.
