About this map

Schaefer Creek and Lost Creek wind through this prairie landscape of Hand County during the late 1960s, a period when the rural school system still defined the local community structure. The map reveals a highly organized township grid, including Howell, Carlton, Florence, Holden, Alpha, and York, which underscores the systematic settlement of the Missouri River Basin.

Educational landmarks like Spring Valley Sch, Sunrise Sch, and Odessa Sch are positioned as central points for the surrounding farmsteads. Several Gravel Pit locations are noted, indicating localized resource extraction used for maintaining the network of section-line roads. The topography, mapped as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, showcases the subtle drainage patterns toward Wolf Creek in the south.
