1962 Map of Ellenboro

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Platte River meanders through a landscape of deeply carved valleys and prominent high points like Buckwheat Ridge. The settlement of Ellenboro sits along the river's edge, serving as a focal point for a rural economy defined by township boundaries like Ellenboro, Lima, and Harrison. This 1962 field-checked survey preserves the layout of a mid-century farming community, where social life centered on numerous country schools such as Henry Sch, Union Sch, and White Sch. A high density of family and community burial grounds, including Buckwheat Ridge Cem and Fairview Cem, provides significant data for genealogists tracing local lineage. The drainage pattern is remarkably intricate, with numerous named tributaries like Bull Branch, Bacon Branch, and Willow Branch feeding the larger river systems. The map even captures specific agricultural details, using fine red dashed lines to denote fence and field lines visible from 1958 aerial photography.
