==Geography== Pawnee County lies on the south line of Nebraska. Its south boundary line abuts the north boundary line of the state of [[Kansas]]. The [[Nemaha River basin|Big Nemaha River]] flows southeastward through the NE corner of the county, and smaller local drainages flow upward through the county to discharge into the Big Nemaha. The county's terrain consists of rolling hills, with its planar areas largely devoted to agriculture.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pawnee+County,+NE/@40.0379115,-96.3478245,11.5z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x8795c27b4465d8cf:0x80436ef45b196f23!8m2!3d40.1025817!4d-96.195132|title=Pawnee County Β· Nebraska|website=Pawnee County Β· Nebraska}}</ref> The county has an area of {{convert|433|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|431|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|1.9|sqmi}} (0.4%) is water.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/docs/gazetteer/counties_list_31.txt|publisher=US Census Bureau|access-date=December 11, 2014|date=August 22, 2012|title=2010 Census Gazetteer Files|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131113024152/http://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/docs/gazetteer/counties_list_31.txt|archive-date=November 13, 2013}}</ref> ===Major highways=== {{div col|colwidth=33em}} * [[File:N-4.svg|20px]] [[Nebraska Highway 4]] * [[File:N-8.svg|20px]] [[Nebraska Highway 8]] * [[File:N-50.svg|20px]] [[Nebraska Highway 50]] * [[File:N-65.svg|20px]] [[Nebraska Highway 65]] * [[File:N-99.svg|20px]] [[Nebraska Highway 99]] * [[File:N-105.svg|20px]] [[Nebraska Highway 105]] {{div col end}} ===Adjacent counties=== {{div col|colwidth=33em}} * [[Richardson County, Nebraska|Richardson County]] β east * [[Nemaha County, Kansas]] β southeast * [[Marshall County, Kansas]] β southwest * [[Gage County, Nebraska|Gage County]] β west * [[Johnson County, Nebraska|Johnson County]] β north * [[Nemaha County, Nebraska|Nemaha County]] β northeast {{div col end}} ===Protected areas=== {{div col|colwidth=33em}} * Bowwood State Wildlife Management Area<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bowwood+State+Wildlife+Management+Area,+Steinauer,+NE+68441/@40.166426,-96.2407829,18z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x8795c27b4465d8cf:0x80436ef45b196f23!2sPawnee+County,+NE!3b1!8m2!3d40.1025817!4d-96.195132!3m4!1s0x8795dd3482949ebd:0xc81dc8efe35f4f34!8m2!3d40.1668059!4d-96.2399177|title=Google Maps|website=Google Maps}}</ref> * Burchard State Wildlife Management Area<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Burchard+State+Wildlife+Management+Area,+Burchard,+NE+68323/@40.1673196,-96.308956,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x8795c27b4465d8cf:0x80436ef45b196f23!2sPawnee+County,+NE!3b1!8m2!3d40.1025817!4d-96.195132!3m4!1s0x8795ddc5e2cc94c1:0x833374bdcb4c6fc4!8m2!3d40.1672953!4d-96.307323|title=Google Maps|website=Google Maps}}</ref> * Mayberry State Wildlife Management Area<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mayberry+State+Wildlife+Management+Area,+Steinauer,+NE+68441/@40.2211867,-96.3343912,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x8795c27b4465d8cf:0x80436ef45b196f23!2sPawnee+County,+NE!3b1!8m2!3d40.1025817!4d-96.195132!3m4!1s0x8795d9527f5dbcd7:0x8c622d5f6bbb307!8m2!3d40.2206883!4d-96.3325773|title=Google Maps|website=Google Maps}}</ref> * Pawnee Prairie State Wildlife Management Area<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pawnee+Prairie+State+Wildlife+Management+Area,+Pawnee+City,+NE+68420/@40.0344671,-96.325505,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x8795c27b4465d8cf:0x80436ef45b196f23!2sPawnee+County,+NE!3b1!8m2!3d40.1025817!4d-96.195132!3m4!1s0x8795e3f5529005e3:0x2a788b80ffe6d6f7!8m2!3d40.0350232!4d-96.3232719|title=Google Maps|website=Google Maps}}</ref> * Prairie Knoll State Wildlife Management Area<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Prairie+Knoll+State+Wildlife+Management+Area,+Du+Bois,+NE+68345/@40.0641164,-96.0706555,18z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x8795c27b4465d8cf:0x80436ef45b196f23!2sPawnee+County,+NE!3b1!8m2!3d40.1025817!4d-96.195132!3m4!1s0x8795ecab9ac4f4b5:0x4aa2cd9aa9231ddd!8m2!3d40.0638974!4d-96.069905|title=Google Maps|website=Google Maps}}</ref> * Table Rock State Wildlife Management Area<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Table+Rock+State+Wildlife+Management+Area,+Table+Rock,+NE+68447/@40.1835743,-96.0665304,16z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x8795c27b4465d8cf:0x80436ef45b196f23!2sPawnee+County,+NE!3b1!8m2!3d40.1025817!4d-96.195132!3m4!1s0x8795bf85b5a1490d:0x5a170a4ecfd88050!8m2!3d40.1848962!4d-96.0613009|title=Google Maps|website=Google Maps}}</ref> {{div col end}}
