1966 Map of West Point NE

About this map

The agrarian landscape of the Cuming Co Burt Co line is meticulously documented in this mid-1960s survey, showing a rural Nebraska social structure organized around numbered country schoolhouses and local townships. The meandering path of Little Logan Creek dictates the local topography, alongside an Old Channel that hints at earlier hydrological patterns. Human settlement and community infrastructure are well-preserved, featuring a Townhall in Neligh and several rural cemeteries including Bancroft Cem and St Josephs Cem. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it illustrates the dense network of rural education through specific locations like School No 37, School No 63, and School No 69. The transition from rail transport to utility infrastructure is also visible, with a marked Railroad grade and a prominent Pipeline crossing the townships of Everett and Oakland.
