About this map

South Platte and Highland townships define this portion of the Nebraska plains during the late 1960s, showing a landscape structured by agriculture and early water management. The Big Blue River and its West Fork meander through the southern sections, while a dedicated Fish Hatchery and its adjacent Lagoon indicate specialized land use north of the Highland area.

Settlement patterns are centered around the community of Rosedale, which includes the Rosedale Cem, and the Highland Ch located further south. Transportation is anchored by the Union Pacific railroad corridor, while local leisure and memorial sites like the Lochland Country Club and Sunset Memorial Gardens appear near the southern boundary. The map also documents numerous irrigation wells and regional Pipelines essential to the local economy.
