About this map

Box Butte County farmland unfolds across this mid-century survey, defined by the drainage basins of North Branch and Berea Creek. The landscape is organized into civil townships like Nonpareil and Wright, where a sparse network of section roads connects rural homesteads to essential community centers. Education in this agrarian era was localized, as evidenced by the distribution of School No 7, School No 17, and School No 58. In the northeast corner, the C. B. And Q. R. R. cuts across the plains, serving as a vital link for moving cattle and grain to regional markets. The topography is further etched by small watercourses like Rocks Branch and Wright Creek, which carve subtle valleys through the high plains terrain.
