1964 Map of Roca
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Salt Creek meanders northward through this rural Lancaster County landscape, acting as a geographic anchor for several small settlements and industrial operations. The map documents a dense network of rail lines including the Chicago and North Western, Union Pacific, and Burlington Northern, which served the region's agricultural and quarrying needs. At Roca, the landscape is defined by numerous quarries and a Gaging Sta, while Saltillo and Jamaica mark historic points along the river valley. Local life is recorded through foundational institutions like Trinity Chapel, Pioneer Sch, and the Saltillo-Simmons Cem.. The presence of smaller rail stops such as Hanlon and Rokeby illustrates the early 20th-century reliance on steam and diesel transport for moving local stone and produce to the state capital just to the north.
