About this map

Minden anchors the southern edge of this Central Nebraska landscape, where the agricultural plains are etched by the Old Fort Kearney Military Reservation Boundary. The survey reveals a complex water management system necessary for prairie farming, featuring the Adams County Canal (Abandoned) and various Canal segments that cut across the townships of Logan and Liberty.

Transportation and infrastructure of the late 1960s are prominent, from the Burlington Northern railroad tracks to the Minden Municipal Airport and the smaller Newbold Landing Strip. Genealogists will find the locations of Liberty Cem and White Hill Cem particularly useful, while the transition between Phelps County and Adams County is clearly delineated alongside natural features like Dry Creek and Sand Creek.
