1967 Map of Emerson

About this map

The tri-county junction of Dixon, Dakota, and Thurston counties forms the backdrop for this mid-century portrait of Emerson. Situated at the intersection of several regional drainages, the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Elk Creek, Middle Creek, and North Omaha Creek. The Chicago and North Western railroad cuts diagonally across the terrain, serving the small community of Nacora and the grain-and-rail economy of northeastern Nebraska. A notable historical marker on this map is the Winnebago Indian Reservation Boundary, which runs along the southern portion of the quadrangle. Genealogists may find interest in local landmarks such as Jopp Cem and the detailed street grid of the village of Emerson, including infrastructure like a Substation and Sewage Disposal plant.
