Looking for places to hunt around Indian Cave State Park? Think of the Nemaha County hunting map as two layers: public areas from Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and private lines from the county. What this Nemaha County guide covers: where public hunting land is mapped, how to read private parcel lines, and how to ask for permission.
Getting started with the Nemaha County hunting map
If the land is near Indian Cave State Park, start with Nebraska Game and Parks Commission for public areas, with rules that vary by area.
The viewer Nemaha County publishes
Go first to the Nemaha County CAMAvision map; it covers each assessed parcel around Rohrs and Julian. If you only know roughly where the land is, follow the nearest road on the aerial and select the outline, whether the land is near Indian Cave State Park or elsewhere in the county. For a parcel near Glenrock, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every office in the county will want it.
Private land and parcel lines
Private boundaries come from the Nemaha County CAMAvision map, and each tract near Rohrs lists an owner.
Before you lean on the lines
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not measured on the ground, so a fence near Glenrock may sit a few yards off the line on screen. For property near Glenrock, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Backing up the map with records
Before you sign anything, get the recorded deed through the Register of Deeds; the parcel line is a drawing of it, which applies near Missouri River as much as anywhere. In and around Missouri River, use the document number from the tax record to skip a name search.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Howe, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Julian with its ID helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Finding a landowner
Out toward Missouri River, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and respect a no.
Good habits afield
Respect livestock and crops around Auburn, and tell someone where you'll be; owners remember good guests.
Land on the county line
The county meets Atchison County, MO, Holt County, MO, Johnson County, Otoe County, and Pawnee County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Indian Cave State Park may show up in two county records, so check the adjacent map as well. For a home near Julian, the Platbookmapper state page links each bordering county map across Nebraska.
Legal descriptions in Nebraska
Nebraska uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Howe is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near Auburn can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near Auburn before you request a deed or survey.
Before you go
Seasons, licenses and trespass laws are set by the state, and trespass rules differ by state for land around Indian Cave State Park.
Places you'll see on the map
Auburn holds the county offices, where most land records are kept. Smaller places on the map include Peru, Brock, Brownville, and Johnson, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 7,076 people call Nemaha County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 407 square miles. The county was formed in 1855, which matters when you trace an old farm's title for land near Indian Cave State Park. Features like Missouri River and Indian Cave State Park make handy reference points on the map.
Offices that can help
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Johnson looks off go to the County Assessor, since that office keeps the assessment data. Questions about what you can build around Brownville are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Reading terrain
Switch to aerial imagery near Rohrs, travel corridors and edges stand out; then confirm whose land each feature is on.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
