1961 Map of Brule SE

About this map

The braided channels of the South Platte River dominate this early 1960s survey of the Nebraska plains, reflecting the critical role of water management in the region's agricultural development. Running parallel to the river's northern bank, the Union Pacific railroad establishes the primary transportation corridor, while the Western Canal snakes through the southern bluffs to provide irrigation. The landscape transitions from the river valley floor up into the Highland and Eckey terrain. A network of rural education is clearly visible through the placement of School No 14, School No 5, and School No 62, marking the social centers of this farming community. Near the river's bend, the Searle Airport provides a modern aviation link, contrasting with the established land divisions of the Keith Co Perkins Co boundary line.
