1961 Map of Lamar NW

About this map

Greenfield Ch stands as a lonely landmark near the center of this high plains landscape on the border of Chase Co and Perkins Co. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the map reveals a vast agricultural grid organized into townships like Grace, Lisbon, Jamestown, and Macedonia. The terrain is characterized by intricate contouring that illustrates the natural drainage and depressions typical of the Nebraska sandhills region. This specific survey was conducted as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, capturing the area before modern industrial farming further altered the prairie surface. Researchers can trace section lines and early unimproved roads that connected these quiet rural townships.
