1958 Map of Wilsonville NE

About this map

Horse Canyon and Timmons Creek carve a series of deep drainage patterns across this rural landscape in Furnas County during the late 1950s. The map illustrates the administrative divisions of Logan, Vincent, Wilsonville, and Lynden townships, revealing a grid of unimproved dirt roads and light-duty paths that served the agricultural community. Produced as part of a Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, this survey provides a precise record of the upland terrain before modern changes. Researchers can trace the section lines and elevation contours that defined property boundaries and land use in this Nebraska panhandle region, where the relief is marked by the sharp contrast between flat divides and the creek valleys.
