1970 Map of Holdrege East

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Holdrege serves as a major hub for Phelps County during the early 1970s, with its urban grid centered on the Courthouse and education anchored by High Sch and Lincoln Sch. The surrounding landscape is a productive agricultural expanse divided by the Burlington Northern railroad, which links the county seat to the smaller village of Funk. Water management is central to this prairie environment, evidenced by the large Phelps County Canal and the winding Sacramento Creek. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including the Prairie Home Cemetery and Bethel Cem. To the south and east, the Sacramento-Wilcox State Wildlife Management Area and the waters of Prairie Lake mark a shift from managed farmland to conservation and drainage basins, while smaller landmarks like School No 7 and various radio towers highlight the dispersed nature of the mid-century Nebraska plains.
