1967 Map of Jackson

About this map

Jackson and Hubbard serve as the primary hubs in this northeastern Nebraska landscape, where the flat alluvial plains meet the distinctive rising terrain of St Johns. The Missouri River valley is defined by a complex network of waterways and drainage engineering, including the Big Sioux River at the South Dakota border and the channelized Pigeon Creek Ditch. Transportation infrastructure is a dominant feature, with the Burlington Northern and Chicago and North Western railroads cutting through the countryside to connect these rural communities. Local history is anchored by sites such as St Johns Cem and St Marys Cem, while industrial activity is noted at the Gravel Pit near the edge of the bluffs. The map also captures smaller details of the era, from the Water Tank in Hubbard to the Sewage Disposal Pond serving Jackson.
