1962 Map of Templeton NE

About this map

Big Creek and Big Pine Creek anchor the drainage of this agricultural landscape, where the interplay of natural watercourses and an extensive engineered network of drainage canals like Hollingsworth Ditch and Hoagland Ditch define the territory. The map captures the meeting of several township boundaries, including West Point, Princeton, and Round Grove, revealing a rural fabric organized by section lines and water management. Local community life centers on Meadow Lake Ch and its adjacent Meadow Lake Cem, situated near the center of the survey. The presence of a Quarry and a Gravel Pit indicates the local extraction industry supporting the region's road and infrastructure development. Revisions from 1977 underscore the modernization of the corridor, including the installation of a high-pressure Pipeline and modern interstate transit features.
