1963 Map of Deloit SW

About this map

The Nebraska Sandhills along the border of Holt and Wheeler counties appear in detail in this 1963 survey. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Clearwater Creek, which meanders through a terrain marked by numerous small depressions and drainage patterns. This map captures the rural social infrastructure of the mid-20th century, notably the School No 146 and the St Anthonys Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracking the sparse settlement of this prairie region. While the topography is predominantly natural, the presence of isolated wells indicates the essential reliance on groundwater for the ranching operations that characterize this part of Nebraska.
