1966 Map of Lindsay

About this map

Lindsay serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape, where the grain-handling facilities and street grid stand in contrast to the surrounding section lines and meandering creek beds. The area is defined by the drainage systems of Shell Creek, Union Creek, and Looking Glass Creek, which carve gentle valleys through the prairie. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, including Holy Family Cem just south of the main townsite and the rural St Pauls Cem near the northern county line. The map captures a moment of transition in local transportation, clearly marking an Old Railroad Grade and other sections of Railroad Grade where tracks once connected these Nebraska communities. To the northeast, the small settlement of St Bernard remains anchored by the St Bernard Cem, while the Looking Glass Sch in the southwest corner marks a vanished center of rural education.
