About this map

The settlement of Touhy anchors this agricultural landscape in Saunders County, situated at the junction of the Union Pacific railroad and localized drainage basins. This late-1960s survey illustrates a rural social structure defined by its townships, including Elk, Mariposa, Newman, and Chapman, each dotted with the cornerstones of early Nebraska prairie life. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the mapped locations of St Vitus Cem, National Cem, and Bethel Cem, which served the scattered farmstead families of the era.

The terrain is dissected by the meandering courses of Wahoo Creek and its tributary, Dunlap Creek, while Hunter Slough and North Oak Creek define the low-lying areas to the west and south. This document preserves the locations of rural schoolhouses such as Sunnyside Sch, Crowder Sch, and several numbered districts like School No 74, marking a transitional period before the widespread consolidation of rural Nebraska school districts.
