About this map

The city of Hebron serves as the focal point of this Thayer County survey, appearing as a developed hub during the mid-twentieth century. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Blue River, which flows south of the city center, and the confluence of northern tributaries like Big Sandy Creek. Cultural and civic infrastructure is densely documented in the town core, including the Courthouse, Po, and several educational facilities such as the High Sch and Sacred Heart Sch.

Transportation patterns reflect the era's rail and aviation expansion, with the Burlington Northern and Union Pacific lines traversing the plains, while the Hebron Municipal Airport sits to the south. Local history researchers will find significant detail in the multiple burial grounds, ranging from the Old Hebron Cem and Hebron Cem to the Rosa Hill Cemetery northwest of town. The transition from industrial to recreational use is visible in the presence of numerous Gravel Pits alongside a local Park and a Drive-in Theater.
