1965 Map of Garrison

About this map

David City serves as the prominent hub in the northeastern corner of this Butler County landscape, where the Chicago and North Western and Union Pacific Railroad lines intersect. The 1960s terrain is defined by the winding course of the Little Blue River and Kezan Creek, which cut through a grid of section lines dotted with rural institutions. Local history is deeply embedded in the distribution of family-named schools like West Olive Sch and East Olive Sch, alongside several parish landmarks including Immanuel Ch and its accompanying Immanuel Ch Cem. The presence of both the David City Municipal Airport and the privately named Bongers Sky Ranch Airfield illustrates the evolving mid-century transportation needs of this agricultural region. Smaller settlements like Garrison and Millerton provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing the development of small-town Nebraska before further consolidation.
