1963 Map of Orchard NE

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Verdigre Creek and Merriman Creek wind through the dissected upland terrain of the Nebraska prairie during the mid-1960s. This survey, later updated with mid-1980s photographic revisions, captures a landscape defined by traditional rural interment sites and protected natural spaces. The Grove Lake State Wildlife Area centers on Grove Lake in the southwestern portion of the sheet, providing a preserved habitat amidst the surrounding agricultural and grazing lands. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds such as Alcott Cem and Millerboro Cem, which serve as markers of the area's pioneer settlement history. The terrain transitions from the well-defined creek valleys to the flatter sections of the southern reaches, where the Knox Co Antelope Co line divides the landscape.
