1952 Map of Comstock SE

About this map

Educational outposts anchor the rolling Nebraska hillsides in this survey of Valley County. The township boundaries of Michigan, Geranium, Liberty, and Vinton organize the landscape, where isolated schoolhouses serve as the primary landmarks for rural families. Small centers of learning like Highland Sch, New Yale Sch, and the evocatively named Hardscrabble Sch are distributed across the terrain, reflecting the density of small-plot agricultural life in the early 1950s. The topography is defined by the drainage systems of South Branch Turtle Creek, Dane Creek, and Hawthorne Creek, which carve through the high ground. This survey, conducted as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, documents the precise location of section lines and early unimproved roads that connected these isolated prairie school districts before the consolidation of rural education.
