About this map

Humphrey serves as the central hub of this Nebraska landscape, situated at the junction of the Union Pacific and an Old Grade Railroad. The town's religious and civic character is defined by landmarks like St Francis Cem and its proximity to the industrial Claypit on the southern edge of the settlement. The surrounding territory is divided into distinctive townships such as Granville, Burrows, and Grand Prairie, reflecting the organized agricultural development of Platte and Madison Counties.

Water and topography influence the local layout, with Tracy Creek winding through Tracy Valley. Genealogists will find particular value in the scattered rural landmarks, including the Tracy Valley Cem and St Marys Ch, which indicate smaller community centers outside the main village. This 1960s survey documents a well-established rail-and-road network before major cultural shifts, preserving the location of early schools and local industry infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal Ponds.
