About this map

The Omaha Indian Reservation Boundary bisects this mid-1960s landscape, marking a significant cartographic divide between Wayne, Thurston, and Cuming counties. The agricultural character of the era is defined by a dense network of section lines and township boundaries, including Leslie, Thayer, Grant, and Cleveland. This survey captures the rural educational infrastructure before widespread district consolidation, preserving the locations of numerous country schools such as School No 4, School No 67, School No 66, and School No 82. Waterways like Rattlesnake Creek and Plum Creek meander through the undulating terrain, while the Old Indian Treaty Boundary serves as a reminder of earlier territorial divisions. A single spiritual landmark, St Peters Ch, stands out amidst the distributed farmsteads and drainage features like Dry Creek.
