About this map

The Goehner township in Seward County is captured here during a period of infrastructure modernization, most notably evidenced by the Interstate 80 corridor marked as Under Construction. This massive engineering project cuts east-to-west across the plains, passing just south of the established village of Goehner. The landscape is defined by the branching waterways of North Branch Crooked Creek and South Branch Crooked Creek, which feed into the wider basin of the West Fork Big Blue River at the southern edge of the sheet.

Local genealogy and history are well-preserved through numerous rural landmarks, including the Old Salem Cem Salem Ch and the Star Sch. The rail economy of the mid-1960s is represented by the Chicago and North Western line, which angles through the northern sections. Numerous wells and specialized structures like the Radio Tower (KOLN) and a local Landing Strip reflect the intersection of agricultural life and mid-century technical development.
