1951 Map of Arcadia SE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Middle Loup River flows diagonally across this Nebraska landscape, defining the transition between the agricultural uplands of Washington and Logan townships. The map documents a rural educational network at its peak, featuring an exceptional density of country schoolhouses including Mixed Grove Sch, Bristow Sch, Turkey Roost Sch, and Sunny Slope Sch. These small, localized landmarks, alongside the rail siding at Cole, illustrate the decentralized nature of the community before mid-century consolidation. Transportation and irrigation infrastructure, such as the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad and Canal No 3, follow the river valley, supporting the farms that border Moon Creek and Cob Creek. This survey captures the region as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, highlighting the water management systems essential to Sherman County's agrarian economy.
