About this map

Valley and Grange townships characterize the rolling agricultural uplands of this Nebraska borderland in the late 1950s. The landscape is defined by a dense network of rural infrastructure, including a series of numbered and named school districts such as College Hill Sch, School No 86, and Prairie View Sch, which served the scattered farming families of the era. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Beaver Creek valley, where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad follows the watercourse near the state line.
