1966 Map of Nebraska City

About this map

The Missouri River dominates this mid-1960s landscape, serving as the border between Nebraska City, Nebraska, and the floodplain of Fremont County, Iowa. The city itself is a dense hub of institutional and civic life, anchored by the Arbor Lodge State Park and a network of parochial and public education centers like St Marys High Sch and the 14th St Sch. To the south, the terrain becomes more broken, carved by Threemile Creek and Fourmile Creek as they drain toward the river. Local infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the Waterworks and St Mary Hospital, while the Burlington Northern railroad lines underscore the area's role as a transportation corridor. In the surrounding rural stretches, multiple cemeteries such as Wyuka Cemetery and Blanchard Cem offer valuable points of reference for genealogical research.
