1966 Map of Howe

About this map

The Missouri Pacific Railroad cuts through this rural landscape, following the contours of the land south of the Little Nemaha River. The small settlement of Howe serves as a local hub, surrounded by several active quarries that underscore the area's geological extraction during the mid-1960s. This survey, part of the Missouri River Basin development program, illustrates a deeply etched drainage pattern defined by Muddy Creek, Codington Creek, and Scotch Br. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several family and community burial grounds such as St Pauls Cem, Holy Cross Cem, and Bedford Cem. Further south, the map documents the boundary between Nemaha Co and Richardson Co, near the small industrial site at Claypit.
