1986 Map of Beatrice
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Homestead National Monument of America preserves the legacy of the pioneer era just west of Beatrice, marking a landscape where the Big Blue River and Big Nemaha River drain the rolling plains of southeast Nebraska. The mid-1980s landscape is defined by a dense grid of section lines and small agricultural settlements like Table Rock, Wilber, and Tecumseh. Transportation networks show the enduring influence of the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads, which connect grain hubs like Wymore and Blue Springs. Numerous wildlife management areas, including Burchard Lake State Wildlife Management Area and Rockford State Wildlife Management Area, provide insight into the conservation of the prairie and riparian corridors in Gage and surrounding counties during this period.
