1966 Map of Dodge

About this map

The rural landscape of northeastern Nebraska is defined by the winding course of the East Fork Maple Creek and its many tributaries. This 1960s study of the area surrounding Dodge and Howells reveals a traditional Midwestern township structure, dominated by family farms and religious centers. Notable markers of local heritage include the SS Peter & Paul Cem and Sacred Heart Ch near Olean, alongside St Marys Ch and Tabor Cem further south. An Old Railroad Grade north of Dodge provides evidence of shifting transportation patterns as the rail network gave way to the developing county road system. The map also identifies local public institutions such as School No 32 and Holsten Park, offering a clear view of the communal hubs that supported these farming communities during the mid-twentieth century.
