1973 Map of Wallace

About this map

Wallace serves as the primary hub of this Southwest Nebraska landscape, situated at the intersection of the Burlington Northern railroad and the county line shared by Perkins and Lincoln Counties. The community is defined by its agricultural infrastructure and transit links, including the Wallace Municipal Airport and a localized Substation north of the village. The surrounding prairie is drained by the winding course of Red Willow Creek to the north and Dry Creek to the south, revealing a terrain shaped by intermittent waterflow and ranching needs. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Morning View Cem south of town, while evidence of local industry is found at the Sandpit and private aviation markers like the Van Boening Landing Strip. This 1973 survey records a period of established rail transport and rural utility development before modern infrastructure shifts.
