1963 Map of Venus

About this map

Verdigre Creek branches carve through this rural landscape at the junction of Holt, Knox, and Antelope Counties in the early 1960s. The settlement of Venus serves as a small focal point, supported by local education landmarks like the Venus Sch and the more remote Cream Ridge Sch. This area of Nebraska is defined by a traditional township grid where scattered rural schools, including School No 55 and School No 30, mark the intersection of section lines. The topography transitions from the drainage basins of the Middle Branch Verdigre Creek to unique local features such as Saltz Lake and the winding Big Springs Creek. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Lambert Cem, situated in a quiet section of the quadrangle north of the Antelope County line.
