1977 Map of Elba NE

About this map

Hell Creek winds through the northern reaches of this High Plains landscape, which is defined by a sparse network of section lines and intermittent drainages. In the late 1970s, the area remained predominantly agricultural, with scattered infrastructure like the Storage Bin locations and a Gravel Pit near the creek. The presence of Lee Cem and Peniel Ch provides essential markers for local history and genealogy, identifying small social and commemorative hubs within the wide-open prairie of Washington County. Several Well sites are indicated, reflecting the critical reliance on groundwater in this arid environment.
