1962 Map of Denman

About this map

The braided waters of the Platte River dominate this 1960s landscape, where the North Channel Platte River, Middle Channel Platte River, and South Channel Platte River create the expansive Platte Island. This complex fluvial system is flanked by the intensive agricultural lands of Buffalo, Hall, Kearney, and Adams counties. The tiny settlement of Denman sits at a rail junction where the Union Pacific line crosses the river plains, while further south, the town of Kenesaw is positioned along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad.
