1970 Map of Diller

About this map

Diller serves as the focal point of this 1970s landscape, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad line. The map captures the agricultural and community structure of the borderlands between Jefferson County, Nebraska, and Washington County, Kansas. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Indian Creek and Big Indian Creek, which carve through the plains near the Kansas Nebraska state line. Rural life is anchored by local landmarks such as the Evangelical Ch and the Pleasant View Sch, reflecting the established network of schools and churches that served the surrounding farmsteads. Industrial footprints are minimal but present, including a Sandpit and several pipelines traversing the southern townships. To the southeast, the small settlement of Lanham sits directly on the state boundary, illustrating the cross-border connectivity of the era.
