1964 Map of Walton

About this map

Lincoln expands eastward during this period, with the suburban growth of Bethany and Havelock meeting the rural sections of Lancaster County. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Stevens Creek and the operations of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, which cuts through the northern bluffs. This 1960s survey, updated in the early 1970s, documents the transition from institutional and agricultural land, such as the University of Nebraska Experimental Farm, to residential developments. The area includes significant local landmarks like the V A Hospital, Seacrest Field, and Hillcrest Country Club. Local history and genealogy are anchored by features like the Fairview Cem and Schultz Cem, alongside various country schools like Meadow View Sch and School No 157 that still served the outskirts of the growing city.
