1971 Map of Bertrand
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The town of Bertrand anchors the southeast corner of this central Nebraska landscape, which is defined by the rigid grid of townships and the diagonal path of the Burlington Northern railroad. This survey, based on 1968 aerial photography, shows the agricultural character of the border between Gosper and Phelps Counties. Irrigation infrastructure is prominent, notably Lateral E-65 and various flumes near the settlement of Smithfield. A National Wildlife Management Area provides a break in the cultivated fields of Westside and Garfield, while local landmarks like Hope Ch, Highland Cem, and Immanuel Cem offer specific touchpoints for genealogical research. The varied terrain shifts from the organized farmland around Harrison to the more dissected breaks of Plum Creek in the northwest.
