2011 Map of Polk

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Polk County, Nebraska, is defined by the steady flow of the Big Blue River and Prairie Creek as they meander through a grid of rural section roads. This 2011 survey documents the established community of Polk, centered on Polk Ave and home to the Polk Post Office, alongside the smaller settlement of Arborville to the south. The area’s genealogical and community history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Laclede Cemetery, Polk Cemetery, and North Blue Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the countryside. Other distinctive landmarks include the Polk Bible Camp near the river and the Merchant Homestead Airport situated amidst the farmstead layouts. The map captures the enduring character of a central Nebraska farming region, where local landmarks like Lindale Cemetery and Arborville Cemetery serve as anchors for the surrounding rural roads.
