2017 Map of Wakefield

About this map

Wakefield sits at the junction of Dixon, Wayne, and Thurston counties, serving as a regional hub for the surrounding agricultural landscape. The town's grid is clearly defined by residential streets like W Second St and 3rd St, extending toward industrial development along Industrial Rd. The terrain is shaped significantly by the Logan Creek Dredge, a modified waterway that runs parallel to the meandering Old Channel Logan Creek. This hydrological engineering reflects efforts to manage the low-lying plains for farming. Beyond the town limits, a dense network of section-line roads, such as Ekberg Rd and 865 Rd, provides access to the rolling hills drained by Middle Cr and Sand Cr, illustrating the systematic land division characteristic of rural Nebraska.
