1958 Map of Inman

About this map

The Elkhorn River meanders across this Holt County landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and marshy lowlands south of Inman. During the late 1950s, this area served as a significant transportation junction where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy and the Chicago and North Western railroads intersected near the town site. The presence of multiple rural schoolhouses, including School No 5, School No 17, and School No 24, illustrates the distributed nature of the agricultural community during this era. While the southern portion is dominated by the river's floodplain, the northern sections transition into the upland territories of Grattan and Antelope. Small-scale industrial activity is evident near the western edge at the Gravel Pits, while modern communication infrastructure appears via a Radio Tower and TV Tower.
