1957 Map of Beaver City SW

About this map

Beaver Creek and Sappa Creek carve the agricultural landscape of south-central Nebraska along the border between Furnas County and Norton County. This mid-century survey documents the rural infrastructure of the Spring Green and Lynden townships during a period of consolidation. While schools like Green Ridge Sch remained active, others had already fallen out of use, such as School No 96 (Abandoned). The northern edge of the map is defined by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, which follows the curve of the water. Local heritage is deeply rooted in the small country institutions scattered across the sections, including Spring Green Ch and family-linked burial grounds such as Lynden Cem and Rockton Cem.
