1970 Map of Craig

About this map

Craig serves as the primary hub of this eastern Nebraska landscape, situated near the intersection of several vital waterways and transport lines. The town’s historical footprint is well-defined by the Craig Cem and the tracks of the Chicago and North Western railroad, which cuts a diagonal path through the southeastern terrain. The surrounding countryside is defined by the drainage basins of Bell Creek and Silver Creek, with several smaller tributaries like Mud Creek and Tekamah Creek carving through the agricultural land. Local family and community history is preserved through the locations of rural burying grounds such as Grace Cem and Silver Creek Cem, while a Gaging Station on the southern edge of the survey indicates the importance of water management for the townships of Craig and Summit.
