1964 Map of Cortland

About this map

Union Pacific rail lines anchor the landscape of this 1960s rural survey, connecting the villages of Cortland, Princeton, and Hickman. The terrain is defined by the winding Middle Branch Big Nemaha River and its various tributaries, which separate the larger townships of Buda, South Pass, and Nemaha. This area, situated along the Lancaster and Gage County line, highlights a mid-century agricultural corridor where local infrastructure was heavily focused on school districts and small community burial grounds.
