1951 Map of Butte SW

About this map

The Niobrara River carves a deep valley across this portion of northern Nebraska, serving as the natural boundary between Boyd and Holt counties. This 1951 survey documents a rural landscape shaped by the river’s drainage, where Big Sandy Creek and Little Sandy Cr meet the larger waterway amidst the rugged Mc Cully terrain. The distribution of educational and social landmarks reveals the decentralized nature of the community, with scattered rural schoolhouses such as Prairie Rose Sch, School No 20, and McKathnie Sch serving the local families. The presence of the Adams Cem and the Badger Sch (Abandoned) provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads. Near the river, the Hull Lake Recreation Grounds and a Boy Scout Cabin indicate the area's role as a regional destination for outdoor activity in the mid-20th century.
