1954 Map of Meek

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Eagle Creek and its many tributaries carve a winding path through this northern Nebraska landscape, defining the rural character of the Coleman, Paddock, and Rock Falls precincts. In the mid-1950s, this area remained deeply rooted in a remote agricultural economy, evidenced by the numerous isolated windmills and the series of numbered schools that served the local ranching families. The settlement at Meek and the nearby Midway junction anchor the eastern side of the survey, while Pleasant Valley Ch stands as a focal point for the surrounding community. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of vanished institutions like the Strong Butte Sch and School No 224, alongside numerous unnamed homesteads linked by a network of unimproved dirt roads and bridge crossings like BR 1687.
