1985 Map of Stanton

About this map

The Elkhorn River valley and its surrounding plains are the focal point of this 1980s-era study, documenting a landscape shaped by water and iron. The Chicago and North Western line follows the river corridor through Stanton, while the Union Pacific cuts through Madison to the south. A notable historical alignment, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, runs diagonally across the grid, intersecting the Old Railroad Grade near Newman Grove.
