1969 Map of Havensville

About this map

Havensville serves as the primary hub in this late 1960s landscape, situated at the intersection of local routes and the Old Railroad Grade. The topography is defined by the winding paths of Vermillion Creek, Spring Creek, and Wolf Creek, which carve through the townships of Grant, Soldier, and Red Vermillion. This survey captures a moment of transition where the historical rail infrastructure was being superseded by a subterranean Pipeline cutting across the eastern sections. Local social and family history is anchored by the Greenwood Community Club and several rural burial sites, including Havensville Cem, America City Cem, and Rose Hill Cem. The presence of a Gravel Pit and Quarry near the Nemaha and Jackson County line indicates the ongoing importance of local mineral extraction to the area's rural economy during this period.
