About this map

Creighton serves as the focal point of this mid-1970s landscape, situated where the Chicago and North Western railroad line cuts through the northeastern Nebraska plains. The town's layout is well-documented, featuring landmarks such as Bruce Park, the Greenwood Cem, and a dedicated Sewage Disposal area. Beyond the residential grid, the Creighton Municipal Airport and its Beacon point toward the community's modern infrastructure, while a prominent Radio Tower stands on the western edge of town.

The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding course of Bazile Creek and its tributary Spring Cr, which break up the agricultural sections. To the southwest, Council Hill provides a distinct topographic rise above the fields. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Knox Co and Antelope Co, showing how local infrastructure like the Substation and various Gravel Pits supported the rural economy during this era.
