1974 Map of Plainview NE

About this map

Agricultural lands at the convergence of three Nebraska counties define this mid-1970s landscape. The terrain is marked by a complex network of sections and section lines where Knox, Antelope, and Pierce counties meet. This rural expanse is bisected in the southwest by the Chicago and North Western railroad, which cuts a diagonal path across the grid-patterned fields. Evidence of local water resources and land use appears in the form of Spring Cr in the northwest and numerous well sites distributed throughout the quadrangle, illustrating the importance of groundwater for the region's farming operations during this era.
