1954 Map of Greeley

About this map

Greeley (Greeley Center) stands as the central hub of this Nebraska landscape, characterized by the grid of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad. The township organization is clearly visible through the numerous rural education sites, including Boston Valley Sch, Star Sch, and Reed Sch, which provided local focal points for the surrounding agricultural community. The terrain transitions from the lowlands of Freeman Valley to the higher elevations of Mount Pleasant, with drainage provided by Spring Creek and the West Branch Boston Spring Creek. An Old Railroad Grade north of the main settlement suggests an evolving transportation network. For genealogists, the map identifies specific burial grounds such as Sacred Heart Cem and Swedish Cem, offering precise locations for historical research in the heart of the Great Plains.
