About this map

Hendley stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Furnas County during the late 1950s, situated along the southern edge of the landscape near the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line. The map illustrates a rural Nebraska territory organized into distinct townships including Vincent, Union, Lynden, and Eureka. The topography is defined by the drainage patterns of Beaver Creek and several unnamed tributaries that have carved the rolling terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds such as Garfield Cem in the north and Pleasantview Cem further west. The small community of Deerfield Corner appears in the southeast, marking a local crossroads. The survey, conducted for the development of the Missouri River Basin, provides a detailed look at the section lines and farm roads that shaped the agricultural economy of the era.
