1950 Map of Dorsey NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Redbird Creek and its sharp, winding valley define the northern landscape of this Holt County region at mid-century. This 1950 survey, conducted as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, reveals a rural economy dependent on well-spaced infrastructure. The area is dotted with numbered rural schoolhouses, including School No 63 near the creek's edge and School No 93 to the south, marking the social centers for local ranching and farming families. The complex drainage network of Louse Creek, Squaw Creek, and Sand Creek segments the prairie, where numerous windmills signify the essential role of groundwater in this Nebraska landscape. A small Gravel Pit near the West Branch suggests the localized extraction of materials for early road maintenance.
