About this map

Niobrara River braids across the northern section of this 1950s survey, marking the boundary between Boyd and Holt counties. This landscape is defined by the steep bluffs and drainage patterns of Brush Creek and its tributaries as they cut through the high plains. The map reveals a rural settlement pattern centered on one-room schoolhouses spaced across the townships, including School No 12, School No 68, and the specifically noted School No 193 (Abandoned). The small community of Catalpa sits in the southwestern portion of the map, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranches and farms. Land use in this era is further evidenced by numerous scattered windmills and a Gaging Sta along the river, illustrating the region's reliance on water management in the Nebraska sandhills fringe.
