1935 Map of Nehawka

About this map

The Plattsmouth Bluffs dominate the western edge of the Missouri River valley in this 1930s survey, marking a sharp topographic transition between the upland farmsteads and the shifting river bottoms. The river's influence is evident in the numerous islands and bars such as Goose Island and Auldon Bar, while the Chicago Burlington and Quincy RR provides the primary industrial artery through the floodplain. Local civic life is exceptionally well-documented through a dense network of country schools, including Eight Mile Grove Sch and Cottonwood Sch, alongside religious landmarks like Otterbein Ch and Kings Ch. The presence of the Natural Gas Pipe Line Company of America line cutting across the terrain reflects early mid-century energy infrastructure, while the cluster of family and community cemeteries like Horning Cem and Mt Pleasant Cem provides significant data for genealogical research in this agricultural corridor.
