1951 Map of Marsland

About this map

Marsland stands as a focal point along the Burlington railroad line in this mid-century portrait of northwestern Nebraska. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Niobrara River and the prominent rising terrain of Pine Ridge to the north. This survey, compiled from aerial photographs and field checks in the late 1940s, reveals a rural landscape organized around a dense network of country schoolhouses, such as School No 103 and School No 61, which served the scattered agricultural community. To the south, the terrain levels into the wide drainage of Snake Creek, punctuated by the distinctive Point of Rocks. The inclusion of local landmarks like St Marys Ch and the Marsland Cem provides significant genealogical context, while the notation of School No 76 (Abandoned) offers a specific record of the changing rural population during the post-war era.
