About this map

The eastern edges of Lincoln and the surrounding agricultural townships of Stevens Creek and Stockton are captured in this mid-1960s survey. The map details the suburban expansion of the capital city into the neighborhood of Bethany, characterized by its residential street names like Sycamore Dr and proximity to the VA Hospital. Large institutional sites dominate the western margin, including the University of Nebraska Experimental Farm and several neighborhood schools such as Norwood Park Sch.

Transitioning east into the rural landscape, the small community of Walton appears along the Missouri Pacific railroad line, serving as a focal point for the surrounding farms. Genealogical details are preserved in the locations of Schultz Cem and the rural School No 157. The drainage of Stevens Creek and Antelope Creek dictates the topography of the land, which is crisscrossed by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad.
