1962 Map of Overton

About this map

The Platte River corridor dominates this 1962 study, revealing a complex landscape of braided channels and expansive features like Jeffreys Island. This era captures significant infrastructure development, most notably the Interstate 80 corridor labeled as Under Construction south of the river. The Union Pacific rail line remains the primary east-west spine for the northern settlements, passing through Overton and the siding at Josselyn.
