About this map

The Middle Loup River valley anchors this mid-century survey of the border between Custer and Valley counties. The village of Comstock sits prominently along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line, serving as the local hub for a landscape defined by organized rural districts such as Douglas Grove and Geranium. This period is marked by the shifting nature of rural education, as shown by the labeling of both active and inactive sites like School No 10 and Lone Star Sch (Abandoned).

Deeply rooted community landmarks reflect the area's heritage, including the Bohemian Cem and Geranium Ch in the northern hills. The terrain transitions from the river bottom and Spring Creek flats into the dissected uplands of Woods Park. The presence of the Community Hall and multiple cemeteries like Round Park Cem highlights the social and genealogical focal points of this Nebraska farming and ranching territory during the early 1950s.
