1965 Map of Firth
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Firth sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, positioned where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad tracks cross the Middle Branch Big Nemaha River. The area is defined by the intersection of rural townships including Saltillo, Nemaha, and Panama, characterized by a grid of farm roads and small agricultural settlements. To the north, the Wagon Train Lake State Recreation Area surrounds Wagon Train Lake, providing a contrast to the surrounding fields. The rail infrastructure was vital to the region's economy in the mid-1960s, with the Missouri Pacific line cutting through the northern reaches near Holland and Panama. Local history is preserved through several rural institutions, including the Pella Reformed Ch and a collection of family and community burial grounds such as Holland Cem and Pella Cem.
