1971 Map of Wausa
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Wausa anchors the northern edge of this Knox County landscape, situated atop the drainage divide where the headwaters of the North Fork Elkhorn River begin their southward trek. The 1971 survey reveals a transition in regional transportation, clearly marking the path of an Old Railroad Grade that once served the community, alongside the active tracks of the Burlington Northern running through the southern section. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Elkhorn and its tributaries, including the East Branch North Fork Elkhorn River, which carve subtle valleys through the agricultural plains. This map also captures the political boundary between Knox Co and Pierce Co, providing a precise record of the rural infrastructure and land use in northeast Nebraska during the early 1970s.
