About this map

The Elkhorn River valley dominates this landscape, winding through Antelope County where the Chicago and North Western railroad tracks parallel its southern bank. The village of Oakdale serves as a central hub, showing a grid of streets and several local landmarks including the Oakdale Cem and the Antelope Country Club further north.

Rural education in the early 1960s is well-documented through the presence of several country schools, such as Flag Sch, Murphy Sch, and School No 116, which are scattered among the drainages of Cedar Creek and Saint Clair Creek. This survey captures the transition of the Nebraska plains, where the river's floodplains meet the uplands of Neligh and Burnett townships. The map also records early aviation and agricultural infrastructure, from a local Landing Strip to the County Farm.
