1962 Map of Max SE

About this map

The Republican River meanders across the northern border of this landscape, its wide floodplain carving through the Nebraska-Kansas borderlands. Just south of the river, the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad follows the valley corridor, serving as the primary transit artery for the region's agricultural output. The terrain is defined by the deep incisions of Burntwood Creek and its tributaries, which create a complex drainage pattern across the Max, Stratton, and Union townships. Local landmarks such as the West Union Cem and another Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogical research. A small industrial footprint is noted with a Gravel Pit near the river, while the map's southern edge is defined by the Base Line at the Kansas state boundary, where Rawlins Co Kansas meets the Nebraska counties of Dundy and Hitchcock.
