Source-derived summary

Nebraska Highway 13 is a highway in the northeastern part of the U.S. state of Nebraska that runs predominantly northwest–southeast with a south terminus east of Hadar at an intersection with U.S. Highway 81 and a north terminus two miles (3 km) south of Center, Nebraska at an intersection with Nebraska Highway 84.

Route description

Nebraska Highway 13 begins at U.S. Highway 81 north of Norfolk. It goes west through farmland into Hadar, then turns northwest through Pierce and Foster. At Plainview, NE 13 meets U.S. Highway 20 and the two highways overlap going west from Plainview. After 5 miles (8.0 km), NE 13 turns northward and meets Nebraska Highway 59 at Creighton. It continues northward and ends south of Center at an intersection with Nebraska Highway 84.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Nebraska Highway 13” is state highway in Pierce, Antelope, and Knox counties in Nebraska, United States. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Nebraska, Highway and state, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current 128-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1944. For this dossier, Nebraska, Highway and state is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “state highway in Pierce, Antelope, and Knox counties in Nebraska, United States” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2389462. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
