1963 Map of Deloit NE

About this map

The Chicago and North Western railway cuts a sharp diagonal across the northern Nebraska landscape, marking the primary transportation artery for the rural townships of Ewing, Frenchtown, Deloit, and Clearwater. This 1963 survey captures a prairie environment defined by the meandering courses of the Elkhorn River and the South Fork, alongside the slow-moving waters of Cache Creek. The distribution of rural community hubs is evident through a network of one-room schoolhouses and small-town institutions, including Pleasant Hill Sch and Rosedale Sch. Local genealogy and industry are reflected in features such as St Patricks Cem and the small Claypit found in the southern sections. The map also records the exact county line between Holt Co and Antelope Co, illustrating the intersection of civil boundaries with the natural river valleys.
