1978 Map of Covert

About this map

Covert and the surrounding townships of Victor, Kill Creek, and Independence define the rural character of this Osborne County landscape in the late 1970s. The topography is marked by the winding courses of Kill Creek, East Kill Creek, and Covert Creek, which carve through the plains. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for local heritage sites like the Bristow Cem and Covert Cem, alongside the small settlement of Dial. The presence of Oil Wells and scattered Gravel Pits points to the local extractive industries that supported the area's economy. The land is heavily partitioned, showing the persistent section lines and rural road networks that connect isolated homesteads to the community of Covert. Near the southern boundary, Cedar Bluff Cem sits atop the high ground overlooking the creek valleys.
