1951 Map of Ansley NE

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The rural agricultural landscape of central Nebraska is meticulously detailed here, reflecting a mid-century pattern of small township districts and localized education. The territory is divided into the districts of Douglas Grove, Westerville, and Myrtle, each serving as a focal point for the surrounding farming community. This 1951 field check records a series of vital rural institutions, most notably the network of one-room schoolhouses like Mt Custer Sch, Spring Creek Sch, and Myrtle Sch that once anchored these townships. The terrain transitions from the higher elevations of Dry Valley in the northwest to the more intricate drainage systems of Spring Creek and Clear Creek. Dozens of Windmill locations are marked across the hills, tracing the essential water infrastructure required for livestock and agriculture in this Missouri River Basin region during the early 1950s.
