About this map

The Cedar River meanders through the heart of this mid-century Nebraska landscape, tracing a fertile valley where the Union Pacific railroad parallels the water's edge. The village of Belgrade serves as the primary hub of activity, situated just south of the Boone Co and Nance Co border. This area is characterized by its organized rural infrastructure, evident in the network of country schools like Sandy Ridge Sch and Sunnyglade Sch that dot the townships.

Southward, the terrain transitions near the Loup Ferry precinct, reflecting a landscape defined by significant watercourses including Timber Creek and Plum Creek. The presence of the Main Cem and various rural schools provides a detailed record of the mid-1950s social fabric, while the Gaging Station on the river highlights the importance of water management in the Missouri River Basin development era.
