1954 Map of Atkinson NE

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The northern Nebraska prairie of Holt County is documented here during the mid-1950s, a period of established rural townships including Saratoga, Coleman, Belle, and Rock Falls. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and branches of numerous watercourses, most notably Eagle Creek and its southern tributaries like North Branch and Middle Branch. This agricultural and ranching terrain is dotted with several district schools, including School No 187 and School No 147, reflecting the decentralized education system typical of the era. The small settlement of Saratoga and the Phoenix Cem serve as focal points for local family history research. This survey was conducted as part of the Department of the Interior's efforts for the development of the Missouri River Basin, capturing the region's topographical transition from flat tablelands to the dissected breaks near the creek valleys.
