1958 Map of Edison

About this map

The village of Edison sits at the intersection of early transportation and irrigation infrastructure in southern Nebraska. Located along the Chicago Burlington And Quincy railroad line, the settlement is positioned just north of the Republican River, where the landscape is defined by a complex system of water management. The Cambridge Canal traverses the river valley, utilizing specialized engineering features like a Siphon and Flume to navigate the undulating terrain. North of the river, the township is carved by numerous seasonal drainages, including Big Antelope Creek and Turkey Creek, which flow toward the Republican River through the precincts of Union and Arapahoe. The map provides a detailed view of rural land divisions and family legacy markers such as the Edison Cem, reflecting the agricultural development of the Furnas County area during the mid-20th century.
