1960 Map of Chester

About this map

Chester sits prominently on the Nebraska side of the state line, serving as a hub for the agricultural plains along the Burlington Northern railroad. The landscape is marked by the seasonal drainage of Dry Creek and the meandering path of Rose Creek, which cuts across the southern portion of the map near the Hubbell settlement. This survey, updated with 1978 data, reveals a network of rural education and memorial sites, including Sylvan View Sch and School No 77. The presence of Chester Cem, St Johns Cem, and Hubbell Cem provides valuable location data for genealogists tracing families in the townships of Hebron, Liberty, and Hubbell. The map captures the organized section-line road system that has defined this border region since the initial surveys.
