1952 Map of Burwell NE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Kinkaid, Willow Springs, and Bryan define the rolling terrain of this northern Nebraska landscape during the early 1950s. The area is characterized by a high density of depressions and natural drainage basins, which shaped the placement of early rural infrastructure. This 1952 field survey highlights the remote settlement of Deverre and the presence of localized educational hubs like Kinkaid Sch and Golden Standard Sch, which served the scattered farming and ranching families of Garfield County. The map is a precise record of the Missouri River Basin development program, documenting a period when unimproved dirt roads and isolated windmills were the primary indicators of human activity across these expansive townships. This data is invaluable for understanding the spatial distribution of mid-century Sandhills life before many of these small rural schools and named localities shifted off the modern map.
