How to Use This Burr, Nebraska Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Burr, Nebraska. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Nebraska or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Burr.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Burr sits amidst an expansive Nebraska landscape where the horizon asserts itself as the primary fact of life, flattening the world into a vast, open theater for the sky. It lies 26.5 miles southeast of Lincoln, NE (from Lincoln, NE: bearing 133°T), and is situated 18.2 miles east-southeast of Hickman. The South Fork Little Nemaha River traces a narrow, serpentine path through the terrain, its banks lined with the quiet persistence of native grasses and thickets that shift from vibrant green to a brittle, sun-bleached gold with the passing seasons. Beyond the immediate riverbed, the land rises into subtle swells of prairie, a topography defined by the slow, deliberate work of wind and water. At dusk, the light here possesses a particular clarity, catching the dust motes in the air and turning the gray-brown earth into a glowing, monochromatic field that feels both immense and deeply still.

Agriculture remains the singular pulse of Burr, anchoring the daily rhythm to the cycles of planting and harvest that have persisted since the area’s earliest settlement. The economy is inextricably tied to the soil and the hard-won yields of the surrounding acreage, reflecting a heritage built on endurance and the quiet labor of generations. While the stillness of the plains dominates, those seeking the deeper quiet of the natural world often travel eight miles to the Osage Wildlife Management Area, a preserve that offers a sanctuary for the native flora and fauna of the region. For those who watch the water, the Upper Big Nemaha Reservoir J-42 lies six miles away, serving as a rare, placid mirror in a land otherwise dominated by the sway of crops and the endless, open reach of the prairie.

About This Burr Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Burr, Nebraska. Coordinates: 40.535555, -96.300011. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Burr includes the ZIP code (68324), telephone area code (402), county seat of Otoe County (Nebraska City), and school district assignment (Johnson County Central Public Schools).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
