1963 Map of Deloit

About this map

Deloit stands as the primary namesake settlement of this north-central Nebraska landscape, where the borders of Holt, Wheeler, and Antelope counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Clearwater Creek, which carves through the northern sections of the quadrangle. Local community life in this era is centered around family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, including Knievels Corner and the Wolf Cem. The map reveals a highly decentralized educational system typical of the Nebraska Sandhills region during the mid-20th century, documented by the presence of School No 46, School No 60, and the Deloit Sch. Industrial activity is minimal but present, noted by a Sandpit located near a prominent bend in the creek. To the southeast, Fairview Ch serves as a lone spiritual landmark amidst the agricultural sections of Wheeler County.
