About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across the southern portion of this landscape, marking a historical divide between Platte and Nance Counties. This rural expanse in the mid-1960s is defined by its watercourses, including Shell Creek, Lost Creek, and the winding Looking Glass Creek. The settlement pattern is anchored by a dense network of country schools and churches, reflecting a close-knit agricultural community. Notable landmarks for genealogical research include the Bethany Ch Cem and West Hill Cem, alongside several parish centers like Palestine Ch and St Pauls Ch. The presence of numbered school districts, such as School No 26 and School No 39, alongside named facilities like Postville Sch, highlights the local commitment to education during this era of Nebraska’s development.
