1962 Map of Kearney
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The braided channels of the Platte River dominate this early 1960s landscape, illustrating the complex geography of Black Island, Collins Island, and Killgore Island. The city of Kearney serves as a significant regional hub, centered around the Nebraska State Teachers College and the junction of the Union Pacific and Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroads. The map records the expansion of the urban footprint with the Governor highway project and the local culture of the era, marked by the Dryden Drive-in Theater and County Fairground.
