About this map

The Elkhorn River and its South Fork define the southern landscape of this Nebraska region, where the town of Ewing serves as a vital rail junction. The Chicago and North Western railway lines intersect near the riverbanks, while the Burlington Northern corridor runs through the northern reaches near Orchard. This 1963 survey, updated with 1980s revisions, illustrates a rural economy built around water access and transport, evidenced by the Gaging Station and various Gravel Pits dotting the terrain.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks such as St Peter Cem and the Emporia Sch. The transition across the Holt Co Antelope Co boundary is marked by a network of drainage including Spring Creek and smaller unnamed water sources. The map also documents municipal infrastructure, including a Townhall and Sewage Disposal facility, providing a clear record of mid-century development in these agricultural communities.
