1951 Map of Eddyville NW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

South Loup River meanders across the central portion of this 1951 survey, defining a landscape of agricultural sections and riparian curves in Custer County. The map captures the rural educational infrastructure of the mid-century, preserving the locations of Shiloh Sch, Tuckerville Sch, and Devine Sch along with numerous small windmills scattered across the high ground. Public land use is represented by the Pressy State Recreation Grounds, which borders the river's winding path. In the southwestern corner, the Union Pacific railroad cuts through the valley of the Wood River, illustrating the transport corridor that linked these Nebraska townships to the broader region. The drainage patterns of Ash Creek and Burr Oak Creek further illustrate the topographic character of this prairie country before modern irrigation and development altered the local water table.
