2017 Map of Talmage

About this map

Talmage serves as the primary hub of this Otoe County landscape, where the confluence of several local waterways dictates the rural development pattern. The North Fork Little Nemaha River and South Fork Little Nemaha River wind through the terrain, flanked by numerous flood-control structures such as Wilson Cr Reservoir 3-6 and Spring Cr Reservoir 3-1. This network of reservoirs highlights the region's managed agricultural environment. Small settlements like Lorton and Tangeman are linked by a grid of county roads, including Co RD 46 and N RD. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, notably Biggs Cem and Grant Evergreen Cem. The placement of these cemeteries, often near smaller tributaries like Jones Cr or Spring Cr, provides a clear view of the historical community distribution across the Nebraska plains.
