1966 Map of Tarnov

About this map

Tarnov serves as the primary hub in this mid-1960s Platte County landscape, situated along the Union Pacific line in the northeast corner of the sheet. The area is characterized by a dense network of rural infrastructure, including numerous educational and religious centers such as Wattsville Sch and Postville Ch. The mapping of townships like Joliet, Burrows, and Monroe reveals a grid of section lines dotted with family and parish landmarks, including St Michaels Cem and Greenwood Cem. Drainage patterns are defined by the winding courses of Shell Creek and Lost Creek, which move through the agricultural heartland. In the south, the engineering of the Loup River Canal and its associated Siphon illustrates the mid-century water management systems essential to the region's productivity and development.
