1952 Map of Comstock NW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The rolling tablelands at the intersection of Custer, Valley, Loup, and Garfield counties are meticulously documented in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Turtle Creek and its North Branch, which carve through a rural grid shaped by early settlement patterns and immigrant heritage. One of the most significant cultural landmarks is the Bohemian Brotherhood Church and its adjacent Bohemian Brotherhood Cemetery, serving as a spiritual anchor for the Czech-American community near Jungmann Hall. The map reveals a dense network of country schoolhouses that once served this agricultural region, including Komensky School, Shady Hollow School, and Blue Grass School. To the south, Big Oak Canyon provides a sharp contrast to the more open reaches of the Comstock and Geranium districts, reflecting the diverse terrain found along the eastern edge of the Nebraska Sandhills.
