1970 Map of Filley

About this map

The village of Filley sits at the heart of this Gage County landscape, surrounded by the agricultural townships of Hanover, Hooker, Logan, and Sherman. The area is defined by its drainage into Bear Creek, Cedar Creek, and Mud Creek, with the latter flowing just south of the main settlement. An Old Railroad Grade cuts diagonally across the southern half of the sheet, tracing a path through the valley near Filley Cem. Genealogy researchers will find precise locations for local landmarks like Zion Cem in the northwest and the Radio Towers to the southeast. The map's detailed topography, compiled from 1968 aerial photography, captures the intricate network of section lines and field boundaries that organize this rural prairie terrain.
