1968 Map of Lamoine

About this map

The high, semi-arid expanse of the Waterville Plateau dominates this late 1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by dryland wheat farming and rural resilience in Douglas County. The small community of Lamoine sits at a crossroads in the northern section, surrounded by scattered water management features such as a Cistern or well at nearly every homestead, a necessity in this high-desert environment. Further south, the Burlington Northern railroad cuts through the terrain, serving the agricultural industry anchored at Supplee. Here, a Grain Elevator and Storage Bin mark the vital transport hub for the region's harvests. Genealogical interest is found at the Fletcher Cem near the northern boundary, while the topographic detail traces the deep carved path of the Draw and various industrial operations like the local Gravel Pit.
