1969 Map of Grafton

About this map

Grafton and Lushton anchor this agricultural survey of the Nebraska plains during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the West Fork Big Blue River and its tributary, School Creek, which carve through the otherwise structured sections of Henderson and West Blue townships. Transportation history is etched into the terrain, showing the active Burlington Northern line alongside remnants of an Old Grade Railroad, providing a clear look at how rail infrastructure shifted over time. Local family researchers will find value in the placement of Lushton Cem and Greenwood Cem, as well as the transition from York County to Fillmore County. Small-scale industrial activity is noted at the Gravel Pit and municipal facilities like the Sewage Disposal Ponds, reflecting the essential utilities of these rural communities.
