1956 Map of Miscol SE

About this map

High Bank Creek winds through the northern reaches of the Missouri River Basin, defining the drainage of this portion of Corson County during the mid-1950s. The landscape is characterized by its vast upland prairie and the distinct ridges of Little Oak and Freedom. This 1956 field check captures a sparse rural settlement pattern typical of the region's agricultural and ranching history. Two local educational landmarks, Chapel Sch and Long Butte Sch, serve as primary focal points for the scattered population, reflecting the community structure of the time before further consolidation. The topography, mapped from 1950 aerial photography, illustrates a network of unimproved dirt roads connecting isolated farmsteads across the rolling hills of the northern plains.
