1954 Map of Akron

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Boone County farmsteads and rural school districts define the landscape in this mid-century survey of the Bonanza, Ashland, Dublin, and Roselma precincts. The settlement of Akron is anchored by the Akron Cem, while the southern edge of the quadrangle shows the village of Primrose along the Up railroad line. The map reveals an agrarian society still organized around local education, evidenced by numerous numbered and named schoolhouses such as School No 79, Dennison Sch, and the Red Sch. The drainage of Plum Creek and Silver Valley Creek carves through the terrain, providing the primary water sources for the surrounding pastures. Notable family landmarks like the Dennison Cem and a singular Windmill on the western plains offer specific points of interest for local history researchers and genealogists tracing early Nebraska homesteads.
