1962 Map of Alfalfa Center

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Platte River valley in Buffalo County is captured here during a period of significant infrastructure expansion, most notably during the construction of Interstate 80. This major highway corridor is shown cutting through the landscape just south of the Union Pacific tracks, reflecting the shift in mid-century transportation as the interstate began to parallel the historic rail route. The map illustrates a complex water management system, featuring the Kearney Canal and several sloughs, including Whisky Slough, which delineate the low-lying areas of Long Island. Local community life is anchored by small settlements and rural landmarks like the Alfalfa Center and School No 114. Near the northern bluffs, the Dove Hill Cem and Dove Hill overlook the river valley, while the Cottonmill Lake State Recreation Area provides a established public space centered on the waters of Cottonmill Lake.
