About this map

Lindsay serves as the central hub of this Nebraska prairie landscape, situated near the intersection of the Walker and St Bernard townships. The map documents a rural environment organized around watercourses like Shell Creek and South Fork Union Creek. The transportation network is defined by a prominent Railroad Grade that cuts diagonally across the northern sections, passing through the village and north toward Madison County.

For genealogists and local historians, this survey is particularly valuable for its density of community institutions. Four distinct burial grounds, including St Pauls Cem and Holy Family Cem, are marked alongside several rural schoolhouses. The presence of School No 48 and Looking Glass Sch illustrates the decentralized educational system of the mid-20th century before widespread consolidation. The map also features fine red dashed lines indicating fence and field lines as they appeared during 1965 aerial photography.
