1955 Map of New Cambria

About this map

The Solomon River and Saline River converge in this fertile river valley, creating a landscape defined by meandering water and the historic corridors of the Union Pacific railroad. Near the southern edge, New Cambria sits along the rail line, while the small settlement of Verdi appears to the northeast. Rural life in the mid-20th century is detailed through scattered local institutions such as Pleasant Hill Sch and Cox Sch, along with the Saline Valley Cem and Highland Cem. The terrain rises toward North Pole Mound in the center of the sheet, providing a contrast to the flat bottoms where Mulberry Creek joins the Saline. This survey, updated with 1970s aerial photography, captures the enduring agricultural patterns of the Cambria and Elm Creek townships.
