2021 Map of Verdon

About this map

The village of Verdon and its neighboring settlement Shubert anchor this study of the rural landscape in Richardson County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, where Muddy Creek and its many tributaries, including Sardine Cr and Whisky Run, carve out the rolling topography of southeast Nebraska. The land division follows a rigid section grid of rural roads like Verdon Rd and 648 Ave, yet the placement of numerous cemeteries—such as Maple Grove Cem, Cupola Cem, and Liberty - Cornell Cem—speaks to the deep generational ties of the farming community. Local landmarks like Verdon Lake and the Eickhoff Strip provide specific points of reference within the agricultural sections of t2n r15e and t3n r15e.
