1967 Map of Mapleton NE

About this map

Danville and Medo anchor this rural landscape in the late 1960s, where the winding Cobb River and its tributaries, the Little Cobb River and Bull Run, define the local geography. The map documents a deeply established agricultural community evidenced by landmarks such as the Townhall and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cutting through the northeastern corner. Significant conservation efforts are visible through the large acreage of the Lost Marsh State Wildlife Management Area and the Hobza State Wildlife Management Area, preserving the wetlands and basins around Cottonwood Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is a record of social centers, including St Johns Ch, Medo Ch, and burial grounds at Danville Cem and the Medo Center Cem.
