1966 Map of Langdon

About this map

The Missouri River and its intricate drainage system dominate this mid-1960s survey, illustrating the complex hydrology of the borderlands between Missouri and Nebraska. The landscape is defined by the wandering path of the Nishnabotna River, including the Old Nishnabotna River Channel, which reveals how the waterway has shifted over time. In the settlement of Langdon, the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad intersects with local life, while St Peters Ch serves as a local landmark. To the south, the Barada Hills rise sharply from the river plain, providing a stark contrast to the flat, farmed bottoms of Morgan Island. For those researching family history, the map identifies several rural burial grounds, including Hunter Cem and Hillsdale Cem, often situated near the creeks and ridges that shaped early township boundaries.
