1958 Map of Wilsonville NE

About this map

The rolling hills of Furnas County in the late 1950s are defined by the sharp incisions of local drainages and the rigid lines of township boundaries. In the northern section, Wild Horse Canyon carves a deep path through the landscape, while Timmons Creek drains the eastern territory. These natural features contrast with the straight administrative lines of Logan Vincent and Wilsonville Lynden, reflecting the grid-based settlement patterns of the Nebraska prairie. Mapped as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, this survey captures the rural layout of the region just before modern agricultural shifts transformed the traditional sectional boundaries and unimproved road networks of the mid-century period.
