About this map

Unadilla serves as the focal point of this Otoe County landscape during the mid-1960s, situated along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line. The settlement pattern is defined by the winding course of the Little Nemaha River and its numerous tributaries, including Hooper Creek and Henry Creek, which carve through the townships of North Russell, South Russell, and Palmyra.

For family historians, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, such as Thompson Cem, Unadilla Cem, and Palmyra Cem. The infrastructure of the era is represented by a series of pipelines and essential utility sites like a Substation and Pumping Station. This survey captures the rural character of the Nebraska plains before modern expansion, documenting the small-town rail economy and the intricate drainage network of the Little Nemaha basin.
