1951 Map of Mason City SW

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The South Loup River meanders across this rural landscape at the intersection of Custer, Buffalo, and Dawson Counties, anchoring a region defined by its narrow valleys and dissected uplands. This early 1950s survey captures a network of rural schoolhouses that once served these agrarian communities, including Sunny Slope Sch, Flat Bottom Sch, and Victory Hill Sch. The small settlement of Cumro sits near Box Elder Creek in the northwest, while the Milton Store serves as a localized landmark along the river in the southeast. This map illustrates the transition from the river bottomlands to the headwaters of the Wood River system. The presence of a Gaging Sta and various creek branches like Elk Creek and Cat Creek suggests the importance of water management and livestock grazing in this central Nebraska territory.
