1969 Map of Geneva SW

About this map

The rolling agricultural terrain of Fillmore County in the late 1960s is defined by a rhythmic grid of section lines and the meandering paths of its waterways. Significant conservation areas anchor the northern landscape, including the Morphy Lagoon National Wildlife Management Area and the Wilkins Lagoon National Wildlife Management Area, highlighting the region's importance for migratory waterfowl. The prairie drainage is captured in detail as North Fork Turkey Creek and Turkey Creek cut through the central townships of Bennett and Geneva. Near the northern border at the Grafton Corp Bdy, local history is preserved at the Grafton Cem and Holy Cross Cem, while the township boundaries of Momence, Stanton, and West Blue mark the administrative divisions of this rural Nebraska heartland.
