About this map

The unincorporated community of Paul serves as a quiet focal point in this 2017 survey of the agricultural borderland between Otoe and Nemaha counties. This landscape is defined by the drainages of the Little Nemaha River and its various tributaries, including the winding courses of Rock Cr and Sand Cr. In the northern sections, water management is evident through a series of engineered basins such as Wilson Cr Reservoir 1-F, Wilson Cr Reservoir 1-9, and Wilson Cr Reservoir 1-10.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise locations of rural burial grounds, including Bloomingdale Cem near the eastern margin and Lafayette Cem further south. The map documents the persistent section-line road grid that has shaped Nebraska's rural development, from the local connection of State Spur 64G to the numerous named county roads that navigate the subtle rises of the prairie.
