1985 Map of Broken Bow
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Broken Bow serves as the central hub of this mid-1980s Nebraska landscape, where the Burlington Northern railroad corridor dictates the placement of towns like Berwyn, Ansley, and Mason City (Mason Sta). The terrain is defined by broad plateaus and deep drainage systems, including the West Table and Ryno Table, which are dissected by the winding courses of the Middle Loup River and South Loup River. This topographical arrangement highlights the challenges of early prairie transportation, as rail lines followed the path of least resistance along Mud Creek while settlements clustered near vital water sources.
