1968 Map of Belleville NW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Rose Creek and West Creek carve through the agricultural landscape of northern Republic County, just south of the Nebraska border. This 1968 survey documents a rural environment organized into distinct civil townships, including Washington, Liberty, Union, and Freedom. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, identifying the precise locations of several community burial grounds such as Liberty Cem, Stephenson Cem, and St Josaphats Cem. The pattern of section lines and fence rows reflects the enduring homesteading heritage of the Great Plains. Water management and drainage are central to the landscape, with numerous small farm ponds and drainage basins supporting the upland farms between the creek valleys. The interface between Thayer Co and Republic Co along the northern edge marks the transition from Kansas into Nebraska.
