1951 Map of Broken Bow

About this map

The city of Broken Bow serves as the focal point of this Custer County landscape, situated where the Chicago Burlington and Chicago railroad cuts diagonally across the terrain. This mid-century survey reveals a highly organized rural infrastructure, characterized by a dense network of country schools including East Table Sch, Sunny Dell Sch, and Prairie Center Sch that once anchored these prairie townships. The landscape transitions from the flat expanse of the Table in the northwest to the more complex topography of the Ryno Valley in the south.
