1970 Map of Elm Creek SE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Phelps County is defined by a dense grid of rural sections and irrigation infrastructure as it appeared in the early 1970s. This survey of the Missouri River Basin development reveals the essential community anchors of a farming economy, including School No 5 and a local Townhall. Water management is central to the area's layout, with the meandering courses of North Dry Creek and Dry Creek contrasted against the engineered path of the BR 2319 Canal. Family and community history is preserved at the Magill Cemetery and the Emmaus Free Church, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing roots in the Cottonwood, Anderson, and Sheridan townships. Numerous wells dot the landscape, signaling the intensity of land use and the vital importance of groundwater in this Nebraska interior.
