2014 Map of Pilger

About this map

Pilger sits at the southern edge of this Nebraska landscape, situated near the banks of the Elkhorn River where local travel is facilitated by Old Highway 8. The area is defined by its agrarian structure, with a dense grid of section roads including 841 Rd and 574th Ave connecting scattered water resources and farmsteads. Local water management is evident through numerous named catchments like Willers Reservoir, Bordner Reservoir, and Pilger Reservoir 1-B, which dot the drainages of Humbug Cr and Sand Cr. Genealogists will find the Pilger Cem north of the main settlement. This survey also documents the triple-county junction where Wayne, Stanton, and Cuming counties meet, illustrating the political geography that shaped these rural communities.
