About this map

Steinauer serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s Pawnee County landscape, where the agricultural rhythm is defined by the drainages of Clear Creek and Turkey Creek. The map documents a critical intersection of mid-century transportation and local history, capturing the routes of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroads as they cut through the section lines.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of rural landmarks like St Anthonys Cem, Clear Creek Cem, and Beranek Cem. The inclusion of the Cold Point Sch and a local Radio Facility highlights the community infrastructure of the era. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of smaller waterways, including Taylor Branch and Coopers Branch, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that dictated early farmstead placement and road development in southeastern Nebraska.
