About this map

Agricultural lands in Jefferson and Saline Counties are defined here by a network of sectional roads and the meandering courses of Olive Creek and Little Sandy Creek. The village of Daykin serves as the central hub, situated along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line which cuts diagonally across the northwestern landscape. This 1960 field-checked survey highlights the township structure of the era, noting boundaries for Olive, Eureka, and Washington.

Genealogists can locate specific rural landmarks including Eureka Cem near the northern border and St Johns Cem just east of the primary settlement. To the southeast, the small siding of Helvey appears near the confluence of the South Fork drainage. The map includes rare details like individual fence and field lines, providing a high-resolution view of mid-century Nebraska farmsteads and the land-use patterns of the Missouri River Basin development program.
