1973 Map of Chase

About this map

Chase sits at the heart of this 1970s landscape, serving as a focal point for a rural community defined by agricultural persistence and a network of ephemeral waterways. The geography is dominated by Sand Draw, which carves a path through the terrain alongside the smaller Davidson Branch. For those researching local heritage, the inclusion of School No 66 and Chase Cem provides essential spatial anchors for early-to-mid-century rural life in this corner of Nebraska. The presence of Roadside Park along Highway 6 suggests the area's role as a transit corridor for travelers crossing the plains. Numerous wells and sandpits are scattered across the sheet, reflecting the vital importance of groundwater and surface resources in a region where water management is central to the land's utility and settlement patterns.
