1963 Map of Altona

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Altona sits at the northern edge of this rural landscape, which is defined by the meandering courses of Plum Creek and Sand Creek. The territory, spanning portions of Blaine, Grant, and Leslie townships, reflects a highly organized 1960s agrarian layout with a one-room schoolhouse nearly every few miles, including School No 40 and School No 24. At the southern margin, the Chicago and North Western railroad cuts across the terrain, paralleling a localized cluster of industry marked by Gravel Pits and the nearby Norwegian Cem. This survey illustrates a transitional period in eastern Nebraska's infrastructure, where traditional township centers like Townhall and numerous rural schools remained prominent landmarks even as modern features like a Landing Strip began to appear in the fields.
