2014 Map of Verdel

About this map

The Verdel settlement sits on a low terrace above the braided channels of the Missouri River, where the Missouri National Recreational River forms a wide, wild corridor between Nebraska and South Dakota. This landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the broad river valley to the deeply dissected bluffs of the northern Great Plains. Countless drainages like Ponca Cr, Bull Cr, and Chateau Cr carve through the high ground, creating a complex network of ridges and ravines. Historical traces are anchored by Cedar Hill Cem, which overlooks the river valley from a northern bluff. The grid of rural roads, including Zoubeck St and Lazy River RD, follows the contours of the land and the established property lines of Knox County, Nebraska, and Bon Homme County, South Dakota.
