Thanks to the suggestions I was able to hook a pump to a mid-point in my line and push the water through. I am now confident that the line is clear. But not out of the woods yet...
Yesterday I hooked my regular shallow-well pump to the pipe in the house. It draws water and fills my pressure tank but it takes a while to come to pressure - about 4 or 5 minutes. So I took the pump off and let her run into a garden hose. The stream is not consistent in that the water flows well for a few secons and then drops off a bit, almost like it's picking up air somewhere.

I've got a rebuild kit coming but can't be sure it'll fix the problem.
I've checked the area where I think the line runs underground and saw no water anywhere. Then again, since it's a suction line, maybe it wouldn't show up. I would surely hate to dig it up...
