1915 Map of Howe

About this map

Auburn serves as the primary hub of this eastern Nebraska landscape, situated at the junction of the Missouri Pacific and the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroads. The town's layout reflects its growth near the Little Nemaha River, which meanders through the central terrain. The map reveals an exceptionally dense network of rural schoolhouses, suggesting a highly organized township system during the early 20th century. Named institutions like Rush College School, Rosewood School, and Pleasant Ridge School are spaced nearly every few miles, highlighting the era's focus on local education for farming families.
