1965 Map of Durant

About this map

Durant serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s agricultural survey, situated along the Union Pacific rail line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Big Blue River and Prairie Creek, which drain the surrounding plains. The map records the rural townships of Pleasant Home, Strom Sburg, Arborville, and Morton, revealing a highly organized system of section-line roads and irrigation wells typical of Nebraska's farming heartland. Cultural landmarks such as the Pleasant Hill Cem and a local Substation provide touchstones for local history and genealogy. The boundary between Polk and York counties is clearly delineated, illustrating the administrative divisions of this prairie region before later modernization.
