1966 Map of Leigh
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The agricultural landscape along the Stanton Co Colfax Co boundary is defined by the winding paths of Maple Creek and its West Fork. Centered on the town of Leigh, this mid-century survey reveals a rural society structured around local education and faith, evidenced by numerous country schools such as Fairview Sch and School No 30. The presence of several distinct burial grounds, including Bohemian Cem, St Marys Cem, and Zion Cem, speaks to the diverse heritage of the settlers who established these communities. An old Railroad Grade cuts across the northern terrain, indicating a shift in the local transportation network as older rail lines gave way to the modern road system. The map also traces the southern limits of Ramshorn and the northern reaches of Wilson and Midland, providing a clear view of the township and range organization that governed Nebraska land use.
