1970 Map of Maxwell SW

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The North Platte River and South Platte River converge just west of this map, creating a complex hydrologic landscape defined by braided channels and fertile bottomlands. The Union Pacific railroad and the Fremont Slough parallel the river system, supporting the early transport and agricultural infrastructure of Lincoln County. Notable landmarks like Sioux Lookout and its Sioux Lookout Historical Mon rise above the Platte Valley, marking a point of historical significance on the high ground overlooking the Tri-County Supply Canal. Further south, the terrain shifts into the broken draws of Moran Canyon. Local educational and community sites, including the Mid-Plains Vocational-Technical College and rural institutions like the Pleasant View Sch and Miriam Cem, provide concrete points of reference for genealogists tracking family history in the rural Nebraska landscape.
