1964 Map of Burke
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The town of Burke serves as the central hub of this Gregory County landscape, defined by the diagonal path of the Chicago and North Western railroad and the adjacent Burke Municipal Airport. This mid-century survey reveals a structured rural community divided into townships like Rhoades, Burke, and Jones. Small rural education sites such as Rembrandt Sch and School No 1 appear alongside several local burial grounds, including Graceland Cem and the County Home Cem. To the southeast, the terrain softens around Lake Burke and its Picnic Area, while the winding course of Ponca Creek carves through the southwestern corner. Numerous Sandpits and Gravel Pits scattered across the plains point to the local importance of aggregate mining for regional infrastructure during the 1960s.
