1951 Map of Edgerton

About this map

The Platte River meanders sharply across this rural landscape, carving a deep valley that separates the townships of Agency, Tremont, and Jackson. At the southern edge of the survey, the village of Edgerton sits near the riverbank, serving as a local hub for a network of family-run farms and country institutions. The 1950s terrain is heavily marked by decentralized education and faith, evidenced by the numerous district schools and rural chapels that dot the map, such as School No 5, Burnett Sch, and Frazer Ch.
