1949 Map of Box Butte SW
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Running Water and Nonpareil terrain define the High Plains landscape of Box Butte County in this late 1940s survey. The area is characterized by a sparse, rural infrastructure centered on education and natural drainage. Educational landmarks like School No 30 and School No 10 are positioned along the section-line roads, serving the outlying farmstead communities of the era. The land is carved by the ephemeral flows of Box Butte Creek and Hemingford Creek, alongside the North Branch and South Branch tributaries. These watercourses were vital to the cattle ranching and dryland farming operations that dominated the Nebraska panhandle during this period of post-war agricultural stability.
