2011 Map of Verdel

About this map

Verdel sits as a quiet hub in northern Knox County, positioned just south of the wide bends of the Missouri River. The landscape is defined by the branching waterways that feed the river system, including Ponca Creek, which skirts the southern edge of the town site, and the drainage of Dewey Creek further south. This 2011 survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, centered on the Verdel Post Office and a grid of section roads like 516 Ave. To the north, the terrain rises toward Cedar Hill Cemetery, while the southern reaches of the map touch the northern boundary of Niobrara State Park. The intricate network of smaller streams, such as Choteau Creek and Bull Creek, highlights the importance of drainage and riparian land use in this Nebraska-South Dakota borderland, where several named creeks converge toward the Missouri valley.
