1949 Map of Bronco Lake

About this map

Alliance serves as the primary hub of this High Plains landscape, where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts a straight line through the tablelands of Box Butte County. The map reveals a transition from the urban grid of the city, featuring St Josephs Hospital and the Alliance Country Club, into a sprawling ranching and farming district defined by intermittent waterways and isolated rural institutions. The presence of School No 11 and School No 1 alongside the namesake Bronco Lake illustrates the scattered nature of settlement in the post-war era. Further south, the map captures the small community of Letan, supported by the Letan Sch and the railway, while the meandering path of Snake Creek provides a stark contrast to the rigid section lines that organize the surrounding territory.
