1951 Map of Broken Bow NE

About this map

Mud Creek and the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line define the southwestern corridor of this Custer County landscape. At the start of the 1950s, the rural character of the area is evidenced by a dense network of country schools serving the local valleys, including Snake Run Sch, Senate Valley Sch, and Rose Valley Sch. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural society where landmarks like the Broken Bow Fairground and scattered Windmill sites are as significant to the local geography as the terrain itself.
