1964 Map of Emmet

About this map

The Elkhorn River meanders across this mid-century landscape, defining the character of northern Nebraska as it passes the small settlement of Emmet. This 1964 survey captures a moment when the Chicago and North Western railroad still served as a primary transportation artery through Holt and Grattan townships. The local infrastructure of the era is remarkably well-documented, showing the locations of rural schoolhouses such as School No 76 and School No 141, as well as the Wesleyan Campground near the riverbank.
