1957 Map of Letcher NE

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The James River meanders sharply through the heart of this mid-century agricultural landscape in Sanborn County, anchoring a region divided between Logan, Union, Letcher, and Butler townships. The map reveals a transition in rural education, marking numerous defunct facilities including Meyers Sch, Stekl Sch, Jacobus Sch, and Weston Sch. These abandoned schools stand in contrast to active sites like Forbes Sch and Rankin Sch., illustrating the consolidation of rural districts during the 1950s. The presence of several Flowing Wells and a Gaging Station on the river underscores the importance of water management in this prairie environment. Ranching life is represented by named properties such as Rainbow Ranch and Many Trails Ranch, while the Butler Cem remains as a focal point for genealogical research.
