2017 Map of Verdon

About this map

Verdon and Shubert anchor this rural section of Richardson County, showing the agricultural character of southeastern Nebraska in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Muddy Creek and Sardine Cr, where the undulating terrain is partitioned by a rigorous grid of section-line roads such as 715 Rd and 648 Ave. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating community burial grounds including New Saint Anns Cem, Cupola Cem, and Maple Grove Cem. Local landmarks like the Verdon Lake recreation area and the Eickhoff Strip provide insight into the recreational and private land uses of the area. The small-town street grids of Verdon and Shubert remain concentrated, preserving the historical footprints of these prairie settlements amidst the surrounding farmsteads and creeks like Whisky Run.
