1974 Map of Mount Clare

About this map

Mount Clare stands at the center of this agricultural landscape in Nuckolls County, situated along the Missouri Pacific railroad line. The map illustrates a typical Great Plains township grid, where section lines and farmstead placements are influenced by the drainage patterns of several local waterways. North of the rail line, Elk Creek carves a winding path through the terrain, while the southern half of the quadrangle is defined by the headwaters of Middle Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Sand Creek. Genealogists may find particular interest in the Beulah Cem, located in the southern portion of the survey near the border of Townships 2 and 3 North. The presence of multiple scattered wells across the township reflects the critical importance of groundwater management for the local farming economy during the mid-1970s.
