About this map

The Niobrara River carves through the High Plains of western Nebraska in this mid-century survey, anchoring the village of Marsland. The settlement serves as a focal point along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, which parallels the river valley. To the north, the elevation rises toward the Pine Ridge, while the surrounding plateau is defined by a dense network of early rural infrastructure. This landscape is notably punctuated by numerous one-room schoolhouses, including School No 103, School No 61, and the specifically noted School No 76 (Abandoned), illustrating the shifting population density of the era. Genealogists will find the Marsland Cem and St. Marys Ch as significant markers of the local community. The drainage patterns of Snake Creek and Point of Rocks Creek further define the terrain, showing the vital relationship between water sources and early homesteading patterns across the county lines of Dawes, Sioux, and Box Butte.
