1963 Map of Orchard NW

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

South Branch Verdigre Creek and East Branch Verdigre Creek carve through the agricultural landscape of northern Nebraska, meeting just across the county line from Walnut Grove. This early 1960s survey captures a rural landscape defined by township boundaries like Logan and Sherman, where section lines dictate the placement of local infrastructure. Social life in this farming community centered on small hubs like the Pleasant Hill Sch and family burial sites including Enterprise Cem and Pleasant View Cem. The presence of a Fish Hatchery near Big Springs Creek and Hathaway Slough indicates a specialized use of the local water resources, while a Gravel Pit in the southern portion of the map suggests local industry supporting road maintenance and construction.
