About this map

The Middle Loup River shapes the western edge of this Custer County landscape, where the Burlington and Quincy railroad line tracks parallel to the water through the village of Comstock. This 1952 field check documents a rural community in transition, noting several educational sites including Pleasant View Sch, Round Park Sch, and School No 19, while already marking Lone Star Sch (Abandoned) and School No 110 (Abandoned) as out of use.

Cultural landmarks like the Community Hall and Bohemian Cem reflect the social and ancestral foundations of the Geranium and Liberty townships. The topography is defined by the drainage of Cottonwood Creek and Spring Creek, with Woods Park occupying the northern elevations. Compiled as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, the map provides a precise record of section lines, windmills, and local infrastructure at mid-century.
