1963 Map of Orchard NW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Verdigre Creek and its complex network of tributaries, including the South Branch and East Branch, define this rural landscape along the boundary of Knox and Antelope Counties. Surveyed in the early 1960s with updates into the mid-1980s, the map illustrates a landscape shaped by water and small-scale land use. A localized Fish Hatchery near Hathaway Slough and Springs Creek points to the area's natural resource management, while the presence of Enterprise Cem and Pleasant View Cem provide critical anchors for those researching the genealogy of these plains townships. The terrain is marked by the branching paths of Cottonwood Creek and Hay Creek, showing the drainage patterns typical of the Nebraska prairie before more modern agricultural shifts fully reshaped the topography.
