About this map

The Winnebago Indian Reservation and Winnebago Omaha Indian Reservation dominate this mid-1960s landscape, where the administrative and historical divisions of the land are clearly marked. The topography is defined by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary and the winding paths of North Omaha Creek and Cow Creek. In the southeastern corner, the village of Walthill serves as a primary settlement hub, positioned near the drainage of Big Slough Creek.

Local infrastructure from this era is captured through the inclusion of rural landmarks such as School No 20 and School No 33, providing a record of the community's educational footprint. Genealogists may find the Pilcher Cem particularly noteworthy. The map reflects a rural economy shaped by both its tribal heritage and its geography, with several creek systems like Morgan Creek carving through the terrain.
