2011 Map of Wilcox

About this map

Wilcox serves as the central hub for this portion of Kearney County, a landscape defined by its grid of sectional roads and the winding paths of local waterways. The town's layout is documented in detail, featuring the Wilcox Post Office and a network of streets including S Main St. The surrounding countryside reveals a history of early Nebraska settlement through its widely distributed burying grounds, including Wilcox Cemetery to the north, Saint Johns Cemetery further south, and the Freewater Cemetery near the western boundary. These sites, often positioned away from the primary town center, reflect the rural community structure of the early 21st century. Natural drainage for the agricultural terrain is provided by the various branches of Center Creek, which meanders across the central and southern sections, along with Sacramento Creek and the West Branch Thompson Creek.
