1967 Map of Wakefield SW

About this map

Logan Creek and the Old Dredge Channel dominate the drainage patterns of this eastern Nebraska landscape, where the Chicago and North Western railroad cuts a diagonal line toward the Missouri River Basin. The 1960s terrain is characterized by dispersed rural infrastructure, including local landmarks like the Cozy Nest Sch and the Immanuel Ch with its adjacent cemetery. These small cultural sites, along with the Wakefield Cem on the outskirts of the town boundary, provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in the Hunter, Concord, and Springbank precincts. The map's detail also captures the intricate network of watercourses such as South Logan Creek, Dry Creek, and Dog Creek, showing the natural hydrology alongside the modified drainage channels that define agricultural life in Dixon and Wayne Counties.
