1949 Map of Antioch

About this map

Antioch and the surrounding high plains of Sheridan County are defined by a complex network of shallow lakes and depressions in this late 1940s survey. The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad serves as the primary corridor for the region, connecting the small settlement of Hoffland with the ranching operations that dot the landscape. Dozens of named water bodies, such as Jesse Lake and Potash Lake, reflect the alkaline nature of these basins, which supported a brief but intense industry during the early 20th century.
