2014 Map of Star

About this map

Star sits on the high plains of north-central Nebraska, serving as a focal point for this rural landscape where the border between Holt and Knox counties divides the terrain. The area is defined by the winding paths of the N Br Verdigre Cr and Middle Br Verdigre Cr, which carve subtle drainage patterns through the prairie. Near the southern edge of the map, the Grimton Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists, located near the confluence of Lamb Cr and the middle branch of the creek. The grid of section roads, including 882nd Rd and 881st Rd, reflects the enduring agricultural organization of the Sandhills region. This 2014 survey documents a sparsely populated but historically rooted area where topography and water sources dictated the placement of early settlements and family burial grounds.
