1952 Map of Comstock SE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

One-room schools and section-line roads define this rural landscape in the early 1950s, a period when the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation was actively mapping the region for the development of the Missouri River Basin. The township boundaries of Geranium, Michigan, Liberty, and Vinton partition a terrain of intricate drainage patterns, with the South Branch Turtle Creek and Dane Creek carving deep into the hillsides. The density of educational landmarks, including Geranium Sch, Highland Sch, and the uniquely named Hardscrabble Sch, provides a detailed look at the localized social infrastructure of rural Valley County before the widespread consolidation of school districts. Scattered windmills and isolated farmsteads are linked by a network of unimproved dirt roads, while Hawthorne Creek flows through the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
