2022 Map of Sanborn NE

About this map

The Cottonwood River and its various tributaries define the rural landscape of this Brown County region, where agricultural road grids intersect with meandering waterways. The northeastern corner of the map is anchored by Springfield, which serves as a local hub complete with the Springfield Municipal Airport. To the west, the smaller settlement of Sanborn sits near the junction of several county roads and the river valley. The terrain is marked by distinct drainages like Coal Mine Cr and Mound Cr, which break the regularity of the section lines. Genealogical interest is centered on the Christ Lutheran Cem located in the southern portion of the quadrangle, providing a specific point of reference for local family history. The mapping also details the boundary between Redwood, Brown, and Cottonwood counties, illustrating how these administrative lines follow the township and range system.
