1974 Map of Huntley

About this map

Huntley serves as the primary hub of this south-central Nebraska landscape, situated at a junction where the Burlington Northern railroad meets the winding course of Turkey Creek. The surrounding agricultural terrain is deeply dissected by a network of drainage ways, including Methodist Creek, Rope Creek, and Cook Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology of Harlan County. To the north of the settlement, Bainbridge Cem stands as a significant point for genealogical research, anchoring the local history of the surrounding sections. A distinctive feature of the transportation history here is the Old Grade Railroad, which traces a path through the southern half of the quadrangle, indicating a shifting rail infrastructure in the mid-1970s. Numerous wells are scattered across the uplands, highlighting the reliance on groundwater for the region's farming economy.
