1966 Map of Aloys

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Cuming County is defined by the branching waterways of Pebble Creek as it winds through Bismark and Elkhorn townships. In the mid-1960s, this region remained a patchwork of sections anchored by small community centers like the settlement of Aloys and the local Townhall. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of rural social pillars such as Zion Sch and School No 75, alongside the St Peters Cem in the northwest. The drainage patterns of the North Branch Pebble Creek and South Branch Pebble Creek dictate the placement of numerous bridge crossings, recorded here with specific elevation markers. This survey captures a moment in Nebraska's development when the rural school system and small township hubs still formed the primary framework of the countryside.
