About this map

The Union Pacific line runs north-to-south through the center of this Madison County landscape, linking the small communities of Warnerville and Enola. This survey captures the agricultural and transportation networks of the mid-20th century, where the northern border is defined by the winding course of the Elkhorn River and the expansive Karl Stefan Airport (Norfolk Municipal). The rural infrastructure is exceptionally detailed, featuring the Pleasant Valley Community Hall and several country schools like Stange Sch and Reiche Sch that once served the surrounding farmsteads.

Evidence of the local water table and drainage is seen in the collection of named bodies like Medelmans Lake, Andys Lake, and Ueckers Lake, alongside the meandering Battle Creek. For those researching family history in the Enola or Warnerville townships, the map preserves the exact locations of landmarks such as Besk Cem and the Simpson Landing Strip, providing a spatial record of the county before more modern land-use changes.
