About this map

The Cedar River meanders across the northern reaches of this rural landscape, marking the boundary between Wheeler and Greeley counties. This mid-century survey captures a transition in the local infrastructure, notably featuring an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the changing transportation networks in central Nebraska. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the small settlement of Belfast remains a point of interest for local history, while the rural interior is dotted with legacy landmarks like Cedar Valley Ch and School No 23. The topography is characterized by the intricate drainage patterns of Clear Creek and numerous hills, where small Windmill sites indicate the importance of water management for the region’s agricultural life during the 1950s.
