1950 Map of Hire

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Hire and Weir serve as primary points of interest in this mid-century portrait of the Nebraska Sandhills where the borders of Cherry, Grant, and Hooker counties meet. The landscape is defined by the intricate hydrology of the Loup River system, specifically the convergence of the North Branch Middle Loup River, Middle Branch Middle Loup River, and South Branch Middle Loup River. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the industrial presence of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, which follows a path just north of Mullen. Rural educational life is anchored by locations such as Cox Sch in the north and School No 4 further south. Notable water features like Calf Creek and the curiously named Flowing Well suggest a reliance on steady water sources in this cattle-ranching country during the post-war era.
