1950 Map of Highmore NE

About this map

The rolling prairies at the border of Hyde and Hand counties appear in this mid-century topographical study, reflecting the organized rural settlement patterns of the Missouri River Basin development era. The landscape is defined by its administrative townships, including Eden, Ontario, and Washington. This area, primarily agricultural, is anchored by local educational landmarks like Washington Sch and West Campbell Sch, which served the surrounding families in the townships of Campbell, William Hamilton, and Riverside. The intricate contouring reveals a terrain of numerous small depressions and drainage patterns typical of the glaciated plains, mapped with precision during the 1949 field surveys.
