2021 Map of Paul

About this map

Paul stands as the primary settlement in this portion of the Nebraska countryside, situated where the rolling uplands of Otoe County and Nemaha County meet. The landscape is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern where Rock Creek and Sand Creek flow southward toward the Little Nemaha River. This modern survey illustrates a highly managed watershed, featuring a cluster of reservoirs including Wilson Cr Reservoir 1-9, Wilson Cr Reservoir 1-10, and Wilson Cr Reservoir 1-F. These structures, alongside the section-line road grid, reflect the intersection of agricultural utility and soil conservation efforts in the region. For local historians, the map preserves the locations of established burial grounds like Bloomingdale Cem and Lafayette Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's rural communities.
