1956 Map of Bartley

About this map

Bartley stands as the primary settlement on this Nebraska survey, situated just north of the Republican R and the Red Willow Canal. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the irrigated valley floor and the dissected upland plateaus to the north, where deep cuts like Stevenson Canyon and Dry Creek drain toward the river basin. This era shows a rural community structure transitioning into the late 20th century, where older landmarks like the Dry Creek Sch (Abandoned) and Alliance Sch are preserved alongside active local centers such as the United Brethren Ch. Transportation and infrastructure are anchored by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor, which parallels the river. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed placement of the Bartley Cem and Dry Creek Cem, providing a precise record of local family history and burial sites across the Red Willow and Frontier county line.
