1954 Map of Long Pine
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Long Pine serves as the focal point of this mid-1950s survey, situated where the Chicago and North Western railway crosses the deeply incised valley of Long Pine Creek. The landscape is defined by its dramatic transition from the high, level plateaus of Ainsworth Table and Harrison to the eroded canyon system that includes Rattlesnake Gulch and Willow Creek. This era reveals a working rural infrastructure, from the Powerplant and Water Tank near the tracks to the scattered rural education system represented by School No 17 and School No 7. Genealogy and local history researchers can identify specific land use and community centers of the period, such as the Buffalo Flat Ch (Abandoned) located on the edge of Buffalo Flats. The presence of Camp Witness and various windmills across the plains illustrates the intersection of social organization and the necessary water management required for life on the Nebraska high plains.
