1974 Map of Midland

About this map

Midland and Breslau anchor this agricultural landscape in northeast Nebraska during the mid-1970s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the West Branch North Fork Elkhorn River and its tributary, Breslau Creek, which drain the undulating plains. The map provides a precise record of rural life and community landmarks, such as Golgotha Ch and the Eden Valley Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for family historians. The boundary between Knox and Pierce counties bisects the region, where a network of section roads connects isolated farmsteads. To the northeast, the Rolling Hills Country Club represents a more modern recreational development amidst the traditional farming blocks and numerous local wells.
