1951 Map of Arcadia SW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The rolling hills of central Nebraska are defined here by the winding course of Clear Creek as it carves through the borders of Custer and Sherman Counties. This early 1950s survey reveals a landscape organized into the civil townships of Myrtle, Washington, Algernon, and Elm. The density of rural infrastructure speaks to a time of vibrant agricultural life, with a high concentration of country schools positioned for local farm families. Educational landmarks such as Deem Sch and Banner Sch appear along the creek valley, while the Lone Elm Cem and neighboring Lone Elm Sch serve as focal points for the upland community. The terrain is marked by numerous windmills, signaling the vital role of groundwater in sustaining the remote homesteads of this Missouri River Basin development area.
