2014 Map of Tarnov

About this map

Tarnov stands as the primary settlement in this section of Platte County, positioned in the northeastern corner of a landscape defined by its agricultural grid and winding watercourses. The territory is bisected by several significant creeks including Elm Cr and the meandering Shell Cr, which flow through a series of sections demarcated by an extensive network of local roads such as Central Hwy. For the genealogist and local historian, the map identifies several distinct burial sites dispersed throughout the rural landscape, including Saint Michaels Cem, Burrows Cem, Greenwood Cem, and Zion Cem. To the south, the terrain transitions toward more engineered water management systems, evidenced by the Lost Cr Ditch and the Loup River Canal, illustrating the importance of irrigation and drainage to this Nebraska farming community.
