1943 Map

I was looking at this map of 1943, trying to find out where Nemo and Seward were in relation to today. I did note that the locations shown here are more of a suggestion, as there is no dot to mark the spot.

Note that SR 28 has not been built yet, and that travel between towns is via roads not necessarily availble today.

Seward AFEs

This is a summary to the "Applications For Expenditures" (AFE) files which were project files for all purchases, construction or removal of facilities or equipment from Great Northern property. These files sometimes contain correspondence, invoices, blueprints and other project information, and often contain insight into events or changes in a specific area at a point in time.

As a summary, it does give a look into the changes made over the years.
