About this map

The Middle Loup River winds through the southwestern corner of this survey, defining the agricultural landscape near Comstock. The town serves as a local hub along the Burlington Northern railroad, surrounded by a network of rural townships including Geranium and Liberty. This mid-century record highlights the distributed social fabric of central Nebraska, where landmarks like the Community Hall and Geranium Ch anchored the community.

Educational history is deeply visible through several mapped sites, from Pleasant View Sch to the Lone Star Sch (Abandoned), illustrating the shifting population of these plains. Cultural heritage is further marked by the Bohemian Cem in the north and the Round Park Cem near the center. The terrain is characterized by numerous windmills and drainage features like Cottonwood Creek and Spring Creek, which supported the livestock and farming operations of the era.
