About this map

Farmers Valley and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Fillmore, York, Clay, and Hamilton Counties are meticulously documented in this late-1960s survey. The winding course of the West Fork Big Blue River meets the Big Blue River in the northern portion of the map, carving a distinct valley through the Nebraska plains. Cultural landmarks critical for genealogical research are clearly marked, including the Salem Ch and the Farmers Valley Cem, which serve as anchors for the rural community.

The Burlington Northern railroad corridor parallels School Creek, illustrating the vital connection between local agriculture and regional transportation networks. Industry is represented by several resource extraction sites like the Gravel Pit and Sandpit located near the riverbanks. This survey, part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, captures the area's transition into a modern era of high-capacity rail and managed waterways.
