1954 Map of Bartlett SE

About this map

The rolling Sandhills of Wheeler County are defined by a network of rural schoolhouses and localized water resources in this mid-1950s survey. Education was decentralized across the township, as evidenced by the distribution of Highway Sch, Clear Creek Sch, and Four Corners Sch. The southeastern corner of the map features the Pibel Lake Recreational Area, a focal point for the community centered around Pibel Lake. Nearby, the Pibel Sch and Pibel Cem suggest a historical neighborhood cluster that served the surrounding farmsteads. The landscape is drained by Clear Creek and Cedar Cr, with the broad depression of Mud Creek spanning the eastern portion. The map captures the region during the Department of the Interior’s Missouri River Basin development program, documenting a quiet era of Nebraska ranching and agrarian life before significant modern consolidation.
