About this map

The settlement of Walnut serves as the central point in this part of Knox County, where the rural landscape is defined by the winding paths of the N Br Verdigre Cr and the Middle Br Verdigre Cr. This topography reflects the agrarian character of northeast Nebraska, where section lines are strictly followed by a grid of local connectors like 877th Rd and 517 Ave. The placement of Sukup Reservoir and local cemeteries suggests a community long tied to the drainage of the Verdigre Creek system.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of the Jelen Cem in the north and the Pleasant Valley Cem further south. These landmarks, along with named corridors such as Co Oil Rd, provide a precise spatial framework for documenting family landholdings and community evolution in the early 21st century. The map preserves the exact alignment of section boundaries like t30n r8w and t31n r7w, showing how traditional land divisions persist in modern Nebraska.
