1971 Map of Arapahoe NE

About this map

Turkey Creek and its major tributaries, the West Branch and East Branch, carve a complex drainage pattern across this Gosper County landscape. The survey captures a rural environment defined by the Missouri River Basin development program, where the section-line roads of Union and Turkey Creek townships connect scattered homesteads and water wells. Significant for local genealogists, the map identifies several well-spaced burial grounds, including Homerville Cem, Fairfield Cem, McGuire Cem, and Immanuel Cem, reflecting the early settlement clusters of the Nebraska prairie. The topography transitions from the banks of East Muddy Creek and Elk Creek in the west to the higher plains, where School No 7 and a prominent Radio Tower serve as local landmarks in an area dominated by agriculture.
