1965 Map of Humboldt SE

About this map

The confluence of the North Fork Big Nemaha River and the South Fork Big Nemaha River creates a wide, meandering floodplain across the borderlands of Nebraska and Kansas. This mid-1960s survey captures the area’s rural character, dominated by the sweeping bends of the Old Channel and the straight steel of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad. The map records several notable family and community landmarks, such as Miles Ranch and the small settlement of Nim City, situated along a complex network of tributaries including Rattlesnake Creek and Honey Creek.
