About this map

Ortello Chapel and the nearby Ortello Cem serve as the spiritual and social heart of this Custer County landscape during the early 1950s. The region is characterized by a sparse, rural infrastructure where life centered around small township districts like Victoria, Cliff, and Ortel. Education was highly localized, evidenced by the distribution of several one-room schoolhouses, including Delmont Sch, Phillips Sch, and Ortello Sch. The physical geography is defined by a transition from the rolling Sand Hayes Valley in the north to the higher plateau of West Table in the southwest. This map records the precise locations of these civic landmarks and family burial grounds before mid-century consolidation changed the footprint of rural Nebraska communities.
