How to Use This Davey, Nebraska Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Davey, 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 Davey.

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.

Davey occupies a quiet expanse of the Nebraska plains, where the horizon stretches as a thin, unwavering line against the expansive sky. It lies 13.0 miles north of Lincoln, NE (from Lincoln, NE: bearing 0°T), and is situated 8.7 miles northwest of Waverly. Ash Hollow Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the landscape, its presence marked by the shifting green of vegetation that persists despite the dry, persistent winds. To the north, the terrain rises in subtle, grass-covered swells, creating a topography defined more by the quality of light at dusk—which turns the prairie grasses into a sea of muted gold—than by any dramatic elevation. Nearby, the stillness of Snyder Reservoir offers a reflective surface that mirrors the vast, cloud-streaked canopy, while the Jack Sinn Memorial Wildlife Management Area preserves a fragment of the native prairie that once dominated this entire region.

Agricultural heritage remains the primary pulse of Davey, as the rhythm of the seasons dictates the slow turn of work in the surrounding fields. The local economy relies on the steady labor of those who cultivate the soil, maintaining a connection to the land that has persisted since the earliest settlers arrived to break the sod. Life here moves with a measured, deliberate pace, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers or the reach of the Superior Street Trail located miles to the south. Residents navigate their days with a stoic appreciation for the openness of the plains, finding a particular beauty in the stark, unadorned clarity of the landscape and the way the shadows lengthen across the grain silos as the sun dips toward the edge of the world.

About This Davey Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Davey, Nebraska. Coordinates: 40.987501, -96.666124. 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 Davey includes the ZIP code (68336), telephone area code (402), county seat of Lancaster County (Lincoln), and school district assignment (Raymond 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.
