1963 Map of Ewing SW

About this map

The Elkhorn River meanders across this Holt County landscape, defining the hydrology of a region marked by extensive wetland systems and sandy terrain. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the map reveals the critical transportation corridor of the Chicago and North Western railroad, which cuts a sharp diagonal through the prairie. The small settlement of Stafford sits as a lonely outpost along these tracks, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural townships of Verdigris, Inman, Golden, Mcclure, and Ewing.
