1969 Map of Upland

About this map

Upland serves as the primary hub in this late-1960s survey of southern Nebraska, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad line. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the Little Blue River in the northeast and the winding course of Thompson Creek and its tributary, Branch Thompson Creek, to the south. This area, developed as part of the Missouri River Basin program, shows a mix of agricultural township divisions including Sherman, Cosmo, Salem, Antelope, Macon, and Logan. Notable local infrastructure includes the Upland Cem and a long-distance Pipeline cutting across the county line. The map illustrates the transition from high plains to creek-carved breaks, providing a clear record of the rural infrastructure and land use in Franklin and Kearney counties during this period.
