1958 Map of Page

About this map

Page serves as the primary hub of this Nebraska plains landscape, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad line in Holt County. The town's grid and nearby rural sections reflect the agricultural surveying of the mid-20th century, where distance was still measured by the placement of local institutions like School No 128 and School No 23. The terrain is defined by its water features, notably the Elkhorn R at the southern edge and the Chain Lakes in the southwest, suggesting a landscape of low-lying wetlands and river valleys. Small industrial markers like the Gravel Pit near the village highlight the localized extraction necessary for maintaining the early road networks connecting these prairie townships. To the northeast, the flow of Verdigre Creek cuts through the sections, framing a quiet corner of the state during a period of steady rural character.
