1951 Map of Hazard

About this map

Mud Creek meanders southeast across this Nebraska landscape, tracing a path that dictated the placement of the Burlington Northern railroad and the village of Hazard. This 1951 survey, updated with 1974 revisions, reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure supporting the farming communities of Sherman and Buffalo counties. A remarkable number of local school districts appear here, including Pleasant Hill Sch, Bloody Run Sch, Bentora Sch, Newberg Sch, and Sweetwater Sch, each serving a different pocket of the countryside.
