1968 Map of Menominee

About this map

The Missouri River defines the border between Cedar County, Nebraska, and Yankton County, South Dakota, in this late 1960s survey. This particular stretch of the river is characterized by complex hydrological features like Rush Island and The Chute, showing a dynamic riparian landscape before modern channelization fully stabilized the banks. Inland, the rural character of Prec 1 and Prec 3 is marked by a network of small schoolhouses and religious landmarks that served the surrounding farmstead families. To the south, St Helena and its St Helena Chapel anchor the community near the bluffs, while Menominee sits further west near Antelope Creek. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by scattered Sandpits and the engineered drainage of Kaiser Ditch, reflecting the era's agricultural land management.
