About this map

Sholes sits near the heart of this agricultural landscape in Northeast Nebraska, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural sections. The terrain is defined by the drainages of Dog Creek and Deer Creek, which carve through the undulating plains between the borders of Cedar, Wayne, and Pierce counties. This 1971 survey highlights the shifting transport infrastructure of the era, most notably the presence of an Old Railroad Grade running southeast toward the county line, marking a former path of commerce that once connected these prairie settlements.

Local landmarks of social and religious significance are well-preserved here, including Bethany Ch in the southern reaches and Zion Ch to the east. At the northern edge, the outskirts of Randolph are visible, featuring a local Park. The map also meticulously captures rural property markers with fine red dashed lines indicating fence and field lines, providing a detailed look at land division and farmstead placement during the early 1970s.
