1952 Map of Burwell SE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The North Loup River valley defines this agricultural landscape in Nebraska's Garfield County, where the 1952 landscape is marked by a dense network of rural school districts and irrigation infrastructure. The Burwell Sumter Canal runs parallel to the river, supporting the farms that border the Chicago and North Western railroad line. Local life during this era centered on numerous neighborhood hubs like Banner Sch, Rosehill Sch, and Richland Sch, reflecting a time when small schoolhouses were the cornerstone of the prairie community. To the north, the terrain transitions into the dissected uplands of Willow Springs, where names like Jones Canyon and Windy Hill mark the natural breaks in the plains. Genealogists will find interest in the West Side Cem located near West Side Sch, while the presence of the County Fairground near the river indicates the regional importance of this river valley area.
