1963 Map of Tilden NE

About this map

The Antelope Co Pierce Co boundary divides this landscape of Nebraska farmsteads and rural schoolhouses during the early 1960s. The meandering course of Willow Creek dominates the northern half of the area, winding through a patchwork of agricultural sections where the township of Elm meets Mills. Local communal life is anchored by small, isolated landmarks such as Stark Valley Ch and several district schools, including Prairie Gem Sch and Hunt Sch. The terrain is shaped by subtle depressions and water features like Rowell Lake, illustrating the transition of the Missouri River Basin at a time when small rural institutions were still the primary focal points of the Nebraska countryside.
