1962 Map of Elm Creek East

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The braided waters of the Platte River dominate this Central Nebraska landscape, dividing into the North Channel and South Channel around Long Island. Significant infrastructure of the early 1960s is evident, notably the section of Interstate 80 marked as Under Construction, paralleling the historic route of the Union Pacific railroad and the Kearney Canal. The village of Elm Creek and the settlement of Odessa serve as focal points for the agricultural region, supported by a network of water features including Turkey Creek, Buffalo Creek, and the evocative Whisky Slough. Local industry is represented by several Gravel Pits along the riverbanks, while a small Landing Field and a river Gaging Station indicate the area's role in local transportation and water management during this era of mid-century development.
