1963 Map of Osmond

About this map

Osmond sits at a critical junction in northeastern Nebraska, where the Chicago and North Western railway follows the valley of the North Fork Elkhorn River. This early 1960s survey documents the agricultural layout of the region, organized into distinct rural townships and terrain units like Plum Grove, Logan, and Thompson. The map preserves the locations of vital community institutions, from the Logan Pride Sch in the southeast to the trio of burial grounds serving the town: Osmond Cem, St Marys Cem, and Immanuel Cem. Beyond the cultivated fields, the landscape is defined by the winding paths of East Branch Quincy Creek and Dry Creek, alongside several industrial Gravel Pit operations that suggest the local extraction economy of the mid-century period.
