About this map

The Winnebago Indian Reservation and Omaha Indian Reservation meet in this mid-1960s survey of Thurston County, Nebraska. An Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts diagonally across the landscape, marking a legacy of land division near the village of Winnebago. Tribal and social infrastructure is prominent, including the Winnebago Indian Agency, the St Augustine Indian Mission, and its associated St Augustine Mission Cem.

Rail transport defines the north-south corridors, with the Chicago Burlington and Quincy and Chicago and North Western lines serving the agricultural centers. The landscape is carved by the tributaries of Omaha Creek, including North Omaha Creek and South Omaha Creek, alongside the more easterly North Blackbird Creek. The map provides a detailed view of Walthill, showing the town's street grid and the Evergreen Cem at its southern edge.
