1969 Map of York North

About this map

Lincoln Creek meanders through this agricultural landscape in York County, defining the drainage patterns between the townships of Morton, Thayer, Lockridge, and New York. The northern outskirts of York anchor the southern margin, showing the town's mid-century expansion with the York Municipal Airport, County Fairground, and a Drive-in Theater along the highway. Evidence of the region’s deep-rooted rural communities is found in the scattered locations of St Pauls Ch, Zion Ch, and Rosemond Cem. Industrial and transport infrastructure of the late 1960s is represented by the Burlington Northern railroad lines and a riverside Sandpit. The map also documents smaller rural hubs such as the settlement of Thayer and the site of Mapps, providing a detailed look at the section-line road network and irrigation wells that sustained Nebraska's plains during this era.
