1972 Map of Lisco

About this map

The braided channels of the North Platte River dominate this Nebraska landscape, where the Union Pacific railroad and the Oregon Trail parallel the water's path. In the settlement of Lisco, the railroad corridor defines the town's orientation, while the nearby Lisco Memorial Cem provides a point of interest for genealogical research. The map illustrates a shifting relationship with the land through various water management features, including the North River Canal (Abandoned), Rush Creek, and Coldwater Cr. In the southern portion of the survey, the Cheyenne Co Garden Co boundary line crosses the undulating terrain. A local Gravel Pit near the river suggests small-scale industrial activity in this primarily agricultural and transit-oriented corridor during the early 1970s.
