1939 Map of Nemaha
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The Missouri River forms the central spine of this landscape, separating the bottomlands of the Nishnabotna township in Missouri from the hills of Nemaha County, Nebraska. Settled river towns like Brownville and Peru sit at the water's edge, while the floodplains show the complex hydrology of the Nishnabotna River and its Old Channel. The presence of McCandless Siding and the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad illustrates the vital connection between agricultural production and regional transport. Numerous rural schools, including Cottonwood Grove Sch and Red Star Sch, are scattered across the section lines, marking the high density of family farms before the consolidation of the mid-twentieth century. To the south, the settlement of St Deroin near the Richardson County line serves as a notable landmark of Missouri River history.
