1968 Map of North Bend
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The Platte River corridor dominates this late 1960s study, dividing the agricultural plains of Union and Cotterell from the more varied elevations of Bohemia and Morse Bluff. The town of North Bend serves as the primary hub, situated along the Union Pacific rail line and north of the river's Indefinite Boundary. The map reveals a deeply established rural infrastructure south of the water, where landmarks like Indian Peak rise above a landscape dotted with localized institutions such as Sacred Heart Ch and several numbered schoolhouses. This era captures the region prior to significant modern development, emphasizing the relationship between the river's shifting channels and the rigid section-line roads. Genealogy researchers will find several burial grounds noted, including Woodland Cem and the more remote Killian Cem, which provide clues to early family settlement patterns.
