1969 Map of Bradshaw

About this map

Bradshaw serves as the primary hub of this eastern Nebraska agricultural landscape, positioned along the Burlington Northern railroad corridor. The area is defined by the steady, meandering path of Lincoln Creek and its tributary, Coon Branch, which drain the surrounding prairie. These watercourses dictate the placement of local landmarks like the Lincoln Creek Cem and Bethesda Cem, while the township boundaries of Arborville, Morton, Bradshaw, and Lockridge partition the productive grain fields. A notable density of labels marked Well across the sections highlights the intensive groundwater management required for regional farming. The map also documents the municipal infrastructure of the era, including the Sewage Disposal Ponds located just south of the town center, providing a detailed look at the rural-industrial interface during the late 1960s.
