1970 Map of Diller NE

About this map

The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad forms a distinct horizontal axis across this landscape, dividing the northern townships of Lincoln and Riverside from Elm and Sicily to the south. The small settlement of Ellis serves as a primary point of interest along these tracks, while the larger city of Beatrice appears at the northeastern corner. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, where Bottle Creek, Bills Creek, and Sicily Creek carve through the agricultural uplands. Genealogy researchers will find value in the precise locations of the Ellis Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem, alongside recreation landmarks like the Hidden Acres Country Club. The presence of several industrial pipelines and a local Sandpit reflects the infrastructure of the Missouri River Basin during this era of rural development.
