1956 Map of Curtis SE

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Lone Tree Cem and several rural schools anchor this mid-century look at Frontier County, where the dissected plains are carved by deep drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the steep-walled Cottonwood Canyon and Saunders Canyon, which direct the flow of intermittent streams toward more permanent water bodies like Medicine Creek and Brushy Creek. This survey captures the transition of the local educational landscape, identifying School No 82, School No 75, and School No 78 as no longer in use, reflecting the consolidation of rural districts in Nebraska during the post-war era. Infrastructure is represented by the Burlington Northern line and the small settlement at Fischer, while a network of creeks including Spring Creek, Frazier Creek, and Cedar Creek provide the primary topography for cattle ranching and dryland farming.
