1965 Map of Tecumseh NW

About this map

Tecumseh sits at the southern edge of this Johnson County landscape, where the North Fork Big Nemaha River creates a wide valley floor defined by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad. The mid-1960s terrain shows a transition from the agricultural uplands of Helena and Lincoln townships down to the river bottoms. This area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Turkey Creek, Coon Creek, and the long reach of Spring Creek, which drain into the river.
