2021 Map of Wakefield

About this map

Wakefield sits at the intersection of three northeast Nebraska counties, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural landscape where Dixon, Wayne, and Thurston counties meet. The settlement is defined by a dense grid of residential streets like Michener St and Walnut St, flanked by the Logan Creek Dredge to the south. This modern survey illustrates the engineered water management of the region, showing the contrast between the straightened Logan Creek Dredge and the winding Old Channel Logan Creek. To the north, the terrain is carved by natural drainages including Middle Cr, Elk Cr, and Sand Cr. These waterways are surrounded by a systematic section-line road network, where routes like Ekberg Rd and 865 Rd provide access to the high ground between the creek valleys. The Wakefield Cem on the western edge of town remains a primary landmark for local genealogical research.
