About this map

The Niobrara River carves a deep valley through the Sand Hills of northern Cherry County, creating a distinct geological break in the prairie landscape. This 1952 record shows the region during the post-war development of the Missouri River Basin, with the Chicago and North Western railroad serving as the primary corridor for settlements like Eli and Cody. The map captures a high level of detail for local history, marking rural landmarks such as the Eli Cem and School No 49, alongside several river crossings including the Garner Bridge and Moore Bridge. South of the river, the northern edge of the Nebraska National Forest begins, while to the north, the terrain transitions toward the state line shared with South Dakota. Natural water features like Boiling Spring and Hay Creek indicate the vital water sources for this ranching-heavy environment.
