1966 Map of Barada

About this map

Barada sits as a quiet central point in this mid-1960s landscape, where the rolling hills of southeast Nebraska meet the bends of the Missouri River. The map detail reflects a deeply established rural community, organized around early townships like Barada, Ohio, and Arago. The placement of numerous family-named schools and churches, including Arago Center School and St Anns Ch, indicates a high density of small-scale neighborhood centers that historically anchored the farming families in the region.
