2015 Map of Parker NE

About this map

The town of Parker sits at the southwestern edge of this Turner County landscape, where the agricultural grid meets a complex network of prairie waterways. This 2015 survey illustrates a transition onto the Coteau des Prairies, a high glacial plateau that rises above the surrounding plains. The drainage pattern here is particularly intricate, dominated by the East Fork Vermillion River and its primary tributaries, the W Fork Vermillion River and E Fork Vermillion River. Smaller streams like Beaver Cr, Long Cr, and Elce Cr carve through the sections, following the natural contours of the land between the strictly surveyed range lines. Rural history is anchored by the Wellington Cem in the northern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a landmark for the township's long-established farming community.
