1981 Map of Amelia

About this map

The unincorporated settlement of Amelia serves as the focal point for this 1980s Nebraska landscape, where the South Fork Elkhorn River winds through the northern sections of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by its hydrology and agricultural layout, featuring numerous Flowing Wells and the intermittent path of Dry Creek. Cultural landmarks are centered around rural community life, notably the Bethany Ch located south of the main river fork. The map details a network of section lines, fences, and field boundaries, many updated from 1984 aerial photography, reflecting the land use patterns in Holt County during this era. This survey provides a clear view of the area's transition from riparian zones to upland fields, documented during a period of photorevised mapping.
