1948 Map of Ashby
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Ashby anchors the southern portion of this Nebraska Sandhills region, where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line provides the primary connection for a landscape dominated by extensive cattle ranching operations. Numerous family-named homesteads, including the JHL Ranch, Beem Ranch, and Sterns Ranch, are scattered across a terrain of high dunes and low-lying valleys. The presence of a Hospital and a Consolidated Sch suggests a centralized community hub serving the remote ranching families during the mid-20th century.
