1974 Map of Superior

About this map

The Republican River defines the southern reach of this Nebraska-Kansas borderland, where the city of Superior serves as a significant regional hub for transportation and water management. A complex network of engineering is visible along the river, including a Canal, Siphon, and Flume, supporting the local infrastructure alongside the Waterworks and Sewage Disposal facilities. North of the state line, the landscape is dotted with smaller rural centers and social markers like Abdal, Smyrna, and Cadams. Educational history is well-preserved through the locations of the North Ward Sch, South Ward Sch, and the more remote Beaver-Ville Sch. Rail activity remains a central theme, with the Burlington Northern, Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, and Missouri Pacific RR converging near the city, while an Old RR Grade and an Industrial Line mark the evolving path of trade through Nuckolls County.
