1948 Map of Hemingford

Education and faith in this mid-century farming community are evidenced by several rural schoolhouses, such as Sch No 49 and Sch No 81, and the St Johns Cem to the southeast. The terrain is defined by drainage patterns flowing toward Box Butte Creek and Hemingford Creek, with the South Branch of Sand Canyon carving through the northern sections of the township. This survey illustrates the organized grid of the Nebraska panhandle, where local life was closely tied to the rail line and the seasonal flows of the nearby creeks.
