About this map

Auburn serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s study, situated where the Missouri Pacific railroad intersects the fertile valley of the Little Nemaha River. The town's grid is dense with civic infrastructure, including the Courthouse, County Hospital, and County Fairground, alongside several educational landmarks like Sheridan Sch and the Calvert Sch. The surrounding landscape is defined by its agricultural character and the complex drainage of waterways like Honey Creek, Willow Creek, and Duck Creek.

Tracing the rural sections reveals a legacy of local community life through numerous small schools and cemeteries, such as Pleasant Ridge Sch and Highland Cem. A notable industrial presence is marked by a Quarry near the river, while the Auburn Municipal Airport and a Radio Tower signal the technological expansion of the era. The mapping also delineates township boundaries, including the transition between Glen Rock Peru and Douglas Brownville.
