1951 Map of Broken Bow SW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Union Valley and the elevated Ryno Table define the agricultural geography of this part of Custer County during the early 1950s. The landscape is characterized by a high density of small rural schoolhouses, suggesting a period of robust local community life before the widespread consolidation of country districts. Tracing the path of Ash Creek, researchers will find Ash Creek Sch and Plainview Sch positioned to serve the dispersed farmsteads of the region. Other educational landmarks like Fleming Valley Sch, Cottage Sch, and Happy Hill Sch are scattered across the terrain, providing precise geographic anchors for genealogists looking for family history in the Custer area. The map illustrates a Missouri River Basin development era landscape dominated by windmills and unimproved roads, reflecting the post-war state of Nebraska's rural infrastructure.
