2011 Map of Tarnov

About this map

Tarnov serves as the primary settlement hub in this section of Platte County, positioned in the northeast corner where the local grid of agricultural roads converges. The landscape is defined by a complex drainage system, where the naturally meandering Shell Creek and Elm Creek are supplemented by the engineered Lost Creek Ditch and the significant Loup River Canal in the south. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds that mark the heritage of the area's rural communities, including Saint Michaels Cemetery, Burrows Cemetery, Greenwood Cemetery, and Zion Cemetery. The transition from natural waterways like Lost Creek to modern irrigation and drainage infrastructure reflects the intensive agricultural development of the Nebraska plains during the early 21st century.
