1970 Map of Gothenburg
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Gothenburg serves as the focal point of this 1970s survey, positioned at a critical junction where the Union Pacific railroad parallels the broad course of the Platte River. The map illustrates a complex hydraulic landscape defined by the Gothenburg Canal, Sixmile Canal, and the Tri-County Supply Canal, reflecting the region's reliance on irrigation and water management. Within the city, localized features like Lake Helen and Lafayette Park provide recreation, while the High Sch and Hospital mark the community's essential infrastructure. North of the river, the terrain rises into Wild Horse Valley, contrasting with the level expanses of Quinn Field to the east. Several rural cemeteries, including Salem Cem and Peckham Cem, offer significant clues for genealogists researching families in the rural areas surrounding the Platte.
