1953 Map of Hereford NE

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

North Star Sch and Reichert Sch stand as the primary community landmarks in this 1953 landscape, highlighting the rural educational network of Meade County at mid-century. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Elm Creek and its tributary, East Elm Creek, which carve deep, branching draws into the high plains. In the northeast corner, Hay Creek passes through a flatter section of the territory, where the map reveals a pattern of section lines and small reservoirs supporting isolated ranching operations. The intricate contour lines illustrate a rugged topography often referred to locally as the Cross, where erosion has created a complex web of ridges and valleys that dictated the placement of early roads and schoolhouses.
