About this map

The settlement of Star sits at the northern end of this Holt County landscape, marking a rural crossroads in a region defined by the meandering drainages of the Verdigre Creek system. These waterways, including the N Br Verdigre Cr and Middle Br Verdigre Cr, carve distinct valleys through the high plains, illustrating the agricultural drainage patterns of the Nebraska panhandle. The boundary line between Holt Co Knox Co runs north-south through the center of the sheet, providing a precise reference for local land records.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Grimton Cem situated near the banks of Lamb Cr in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. This small cemetery, alongside the grid of local roads like Koplin Rd and Township Rd, serves as a primary marker for the families who settled this territory between the late 19th century and the modern era. The map maintains the traditional Public Land Survey System divisions, such as t30n r9w, which remain the bedrock of Nebraska property history.
