1970 Map of Gothenburg SE

About this map

The Platte River and its intricate braided channels dominate the northern landscape of this 1970 Nebraska survey. This stretch of the river valley is marked by the Willow Island Channel and a heavy concentration of irrigation infrastructure, including the Tri-County Supply Canal and the Orchard-Alfalfa Canal. These waterways reflect the intensive agricultural development of the Fairview region. To the south, the terrain shifts abruptly into the broken topography of Midway Canyon, where the waters of Central Midway Lake and West Midway Lake are contained within the draws. Local landmarks such as Camp Comeca and the Midway Lake Recreation Grounds sit along these shorelines. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of rural institutions like the Decker Sch and the Pleasant View Cem west of Cozad.
