1960 Map of Hubbell

About this map

The borderlands of southern Nebraska and northern Kansas are defined by the winding course of Rose Creek as it moves through the townships of Hubbell, Rose Creek, and Albion. The village of Hubbell sits at the southwestern edge of the sheet, serving as a hub for the Burlington Northern railroad, which parallels the creek bed. This 1960 survey, later updated with photorevised data, captures the rural fabric of Gilead township through its family-named landmarks and essential community centers. Genealogists will find critical landmarks such as St Pauls Ch, St Pauls Cem, and Williams Cem. The landscape is etched by small drainage networks including Spring Branch, Balls Branch, and Humphrey Branch, illustrating the agricultural drainage patterns along the Thayer Co Republic Co line.
