1964 Map of Cortland

About this map

Cortland and Princeton serve as the primary hubs in this mid-1960s agricultural portrait of the Nebraska plains, positioned along the Union Pacific railroad line. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including the Middle Branch Big Nemaha River and Salt Creek, which carve across township blocks like Buda, South Pass, and Centerville. A significant water feature, Stagecoach Lake, is identified as a State Recreation Area with a normal pool elevation of 1271 feet.
