Excerpts: This study of community organization was undertaken as an integral part of a larger social study requested by the County Land-use Planning Committee of Nemaha County. Nemaha County is characterized by a variety of cultural, nationality, religious and socio-economic groups. The recognition of these natural groupings had already been found necessary and important in the county planning program. In addition, the county is fairly representative of the northeastern portion of the State of Kansas. Finally, the study was undertaken in Nemaha County as a means of applying and testing simple procedures which might be followed by agricultural workers or by farm people themselves in mapping neighborhoods and communities in other counties in the State.
