1954 Map of Dorsey SW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The rolling plains of Holt County are documented here during a period of rural stability in the mid-1950s. This survey, part of a Department of the Interior project for the Missouri River Basin, reveals a landscape defined by organized townships and essential community cornerstones. Educational and memorial sites such as School No 122, School No 96, and Miniola Cem serve as primary landmarks for local genealogists and researchers. The drainage patterns of the region are anchored by the North Branch Verdigre Creek and Antelope Slough, which cut through the open country. Large township divisions like Willowdale, Steel Creek, and Scott illustrate the rectilinear property boundaries typical of the Great Plains, while numerous windmills signify the vital reliance on groundwater for the agricultural economy of the era.
