1964 Map of O'Neill SE

About this map

The S Fork Elkhorn R winds through the southwestern corner of this Holt County landscape, illustrating the essential relationship between water and early Nebraska settlement. This mid-century survey, updated in the 1980s, captures the rural character of the region where the Chicago and North Western railroad cuts across the northern edge of the terrain. The small community of Stafford and the nearby Inman Cem serve as vital anchor points for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in this part of the Elkhorn River basin. The map reveals a transition from the structured river valley to the complex topography of the surrounding plains, providing a clear record of land use and transport patterns before modern agricultural shifts.
