1953 Map of Boelus

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The confluence of the Middle Loup River and South Loup River shapes this mid-century landscape in Howard County, Nebraska. At the heart of the river valley, Boelus (Howard City) serves as a primary hub, situated along the Union Pacific railroad line. This period of Missouri River Basin development is evidenced by the detailed mapping of water infrastructure, including a Power Plant and a Gaging Station positioned on the river's banks. To the south, the village of St Michael sits near the Chicago Burlington and Quincy tracks and Sweet Creek. The map reflects a deeply rooted rural community, documented through a high density of one-room schoolhouses like School No 58 and Boesen Sch, and local religious landmarks such as Dry Creek Ch and the Swedish Cem.
