1964 Map of Emmet SW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The waters of Holt Creek and Dry Creek wind through this rural Nebraska landscape, defining a region where water management was central to life in the mid-1960s. The presence of several Flowing Wells indicates a reliance on the underlying aquifer to support livestock and agriculture in this corner of Holt County. Education in this sparsely populated area is anchored by School No 231, reflecting the localized school district system of the mid-20th century. Numerous small bodies of water, including Lizard Lake, West Lake, East Lake, and Gold Lake, are scattered across the terrain, suggesting a complex wetland or prairie pothole geography. This 1964 survey, which includes photorevisions from the mid-1980s, documents the persistence of these natural features and the basic infrastructure of a ranching or farming community before later land-use changes.
