1960 Map of Park Church

About this map

Beaver Creek meanders through this rural Nebraska landscape where Wheeler, Antelope, and Boone counties meet. Originally field-checked in 1960 and updated with aerial data in 1981, this survey documents a period of agricultural settlement and civic structure in the Great Plains. Local community life is anchored by the Park Ch and educational landmarks such as Park Center Sch and School No 3, which served the scattered farmsteads of the region. A notable detail of the water table and irrigation history is the presence of a Flowing Well located west of the creek, signifying the era's reliance on groundwater for ranching and farming operations. The map provides a precise look at the section lines and rural infrastructure that defined these Nebraska counties in the mid-to-late twentieth century.
