1966 Map of Hanover West

About this map

The Little Blue River and Mill Creek converge in this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating the agricultural and rail-oriented layout of northern Washington County. This survey captures a specific historical marker of the 19th-century frontier: the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts across the northern townships of Franklin and Independence. The rail infrastructure is well-defined, showing the paths of the Union Pacific and the C B & Q, which supported the small riverside communities of Hollenberg, Spence, and Hanover.
