1960 Map of Hubbell

About this map

Hubbell serves as the primary hub in this corner of Thayer County, situated where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad tracks cut across the plains just north of the Kansas border. This 1960 survey highlights a rural landscape defined by wide watercourses like Rose Creek and its tributaries, including Balls Branch and Humphrey Branch. The distribution of St Pauls Ch and local burial grounds like St Pauls Cem and Williams Cem underscores the generational footprint of early families who settled the townships of Gilead, Hubbell, and Albion. The presence of fine-dashed lines marking field and fence boundaries provides a rare glimpse into the mid-century agricultural layout, offering essential details for those tracing Nebraska homesteads or local family history before late-twentieth-century industrial farming consolidated many of these small plots.
