1964 Map of Springview SE

About this map

Keya Paha County's undulating landscape comes into focus during the mid-1960s, showing a region defined by agricultural field lines and remote airstrips. Small-scale aviation appears central to the local geography with both the Stoltenberg Landing Strip in the north and the Gipson Landing Strip further south serving these rural sections. The drainage patterns of Spring Creek, Wyman Creek, and Fairbell Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural water network that supported the townships of Burton, Mills, and Custer. This survey, produced as part of a development program for the Missouri River Basin, captures the exact placement of fences and field lines visible from 1962 aerial photography, providing a precise record of land use before modern pivot irrigation or consolidation altered the rural fabric of northern Nebraska.
