1970 Map of Elm Creek SW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Phelps County Canal cuts diagonally across this central Nebraska landscape, a testament to the intricate water management required for agriculture in the region. The map captures the organized township structures of Williamsburg, Westmark, Center, Laird, and Sheridan, revealing a rural fabric defined by section lines and isolated landmarks. Cultural hubs for the 1970s community are preserved here, including the Holcomb Ch and School No 4, reflecting the importance of local institutions in the Phelps County plains. Notable geographic features such as Moses Hill and the nearby Moses Hill Lagoon provide localized relief in an otherwise strictly surveyed grid. The presence of the Radio Towers (KRVN) and a specific Flume along the canal route highlights the era's communication and irrigation infrastructure during the Missouri River Basin development program.
