1966 Map of Humphrey SE

About this map

Shell Creek and its tributary Loseke Creek define the agricultural landscape of this eastern Nebraska region during the mid-1960s. The terrain is divided into the organized townships of Sherman, Shell Creek, and Bismark, following the survey lines established by the Sixth Principal Meridian. This map records a landscape deeply rooted in rural community life, marked by scattered schoolhouses such as School No 10 and School No 2, as well as the Schaad school site. Religious and memorial landmarks like Christ Ch, St Johns Ch, and Calvary Cem serve as focal points for local genealogy and history. Along the southern watercourse, a Gaging Station monitors the flow of the creek as it meanders toward the border of Platte and Colfax Counties.
