1958 Map of O'Neill

About this map

O'Neill serves as the focal point of this Holt County landscape, positioned at a vital junction where the Chicago and North Western and C B & Q railroads intersect. The town's mid-century footprint is detailed with civic landmarks including the Po, CH, and a hospital, while the outskirts show the influence of modern transit with the O'Neill Municipal Airport and a roadside Drive-in Theater. To the south, the Elkhorn River meanders through the township of Grattan, flanked by the smaller course of Dry Creek. Beyond the municipal limits, the map documents a rural network of social and educational centers such as Center Union Ch and School No 165, reflecting the agricultural character of the region. Local industry is represented by scattered Gravel Pits and the essential infrastructure of the City Wells.
