1951 Map of Mason City NW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The rural prairie landscape of Custer County unfolds across this mid-century survey, defined by the winding paths of Elk Creek and Cat Creek. This map documents a decentralized agrarian society during the development of the Missouri River Basin, where small district schools served as the primary social anchors for dispersed farmsteads. These institutions, including Hawk Sch, Ash Grove Sch, McIntosh Sch, and Battle Bend Sch, are positioned along the sections of Ansley, Berwyn, and Algernon. Near the southern boundary, the First Eudell Ch stands as a focal point for the community. The presence of numerous Windmill labels throughout the township indicates the vital reliance on groundwater for livestock and domestic use in this open Nebraska terrain, where East Box Elder Creek and West Box Elder Cr carve shallow valleys through the Loess Hills.
