1969 Map of Harvard NE

About this map

Harvard anchors the southern edge of this Nebraska landscape, where the flat agricultural plains of Clay Co meet Hamilton Co to the north. The area is defined by the winding paths of the West Fork Big Blue River and its northern tributary, the North Branch West Fork Big Blue River, which carve subtle drainage patterns through the section lines. Transportation and utility infrastructure are prominent, featuring the Harvard State Airport and a visible Old Grade Railroad corridor that hints at the region's evolving logistical history. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of rural burial grounds, including Franklin Cem and Norwegian Cem, as well as several landmark structures such as a Radio Tower and Water Tank that punctuated the horizon at the end of the 1960s.
