1963 Map of Hoskins

About this map

The village of Hoskins serves as the focal point of this northeast Nebraska quadrangle, situated at the junction of Wayne, Pierce, Stanton, and Madison counties. The landscape is defined by the South Branch Spring Branch and Maskenthine Creek, while the Chicago and North Western railroad cuts across the southwestern corner. Cultural and genealogical sites are prominent, including several religious landmarks such as Trinity Ch and Peace Ch, alongside the Lutheran Cem, Zion Cem, and the notable State Hospital Cem. An Old Railroad Grade north of Warnerville reveals earlier transportation corridors that once stitched these farming communities together. The map also documents rural education through School No 26 and School No 10, illustrating the distributed nature of the plains settlement pattern during the mid-20th century.
