About this map

The Little Nemaha River meanders toward its confluence with the Missouri River in this mid-1960s study of the Nebraska-Missouri border. The settlement of Nemaha serves as the focal point, situated near a complex network of transportation routes including the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad and an Old Railroad Grade. This era shows a landscape deeply shaped by both agriculture and industry, with several Quarries and a Quarry dotting the bluffs above the riverbanks.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks of community life, such as Maple Grove Sch and Nemaha Cem, alongside the Pennwell Cem further south. The map documents the shifting Missouri shoreline near Morgan Island and names numerous drainage features like Whisky Run, Happy Hollow, and Swartz Run, which define the local topography between the township divisions of Brownville, Templeton, and Benton.
