1949 Map of Bronco Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The western edge of Alliance serves as the focal point for this 1940s western Nebraska landscape, where the high plains meet early suburban and agricultural infrastructure. The topography is defined by the winding course of Snake Creek and the notable catchment of Bronco Lake. Education was decentralized at this time, evidenced by the presence of School No 11 and School No 1 serving rural districts, alongside the Letan Sch further south. The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts a diagonal path across the terrain, illustrating the vital role of rail transport in connecting the Panhandle's cattle and crop centers. Near the town edge, St Josephs Hospital and the Alliance Country Club mark the expansion of community services and social life. The southern boundary of the map follows the Box Butte Co Morrill Co line, transitioning into the Letan area.
