1965 Map of Angora NE

About this map

Chicago Burlington and Quincy tracks cut a diagonal path across this High Plains landscape, connecting the small settlement of Bonner to the wider Nebraska rail network. The terrain is defined by the broad depressions of Hay Valley and Haynes, reflecting the characteristic topography of Morrill County during the mid-1960s. This survey, completed as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, captures the rural infrastructure of the era, including the Hall Landing Strip and a Roadside Park along the highway. Fine red dashed lines throughout the sheet provide a rare grounded look at local land management, indicating selected fence and field lines visible from aerial photography. These details offer a precise view of how the land was partitioned and utilized for ranching or agriculture before more modern industrial pivots changed the local footprint.
