1956 Map of Curtis

About this map

Medicine Creek and its tributaries carve a network of deep drainage across this Nebraska landscape, framing the settlements of Curtis and Maywood during the mid-1950s. The topography is defined by prominent upland divides such as Buchanan and Laird, which separate numerous named draws including Ackenson Canyon and Staples Canyon. The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad follows the winding path of the creek valley, serving as the primary transportation artery connecting these rural communities.
