1964 Map of Emerald

About this map

Huskerville and the expansive grounds of the Lincoln Municipal Airport dominate the northern reaches of this landscape, reflecting the mid-century evolution of the Nebraska capital's outskirts. The central corridor is defined by the Burlington Northern railroad and the small settlement of Emerald, which serves as a gateway to the more rural sections of Lancaster County. Water management and recreational planning are prominent, with the newly established reservoir waters of Pawnee Lake and Conestoga Lake altering the traditional drainage patterns of Middle Creek and Haines Branch.
