1950 Map of Monowi
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The Missouri River and Niobrara River define this corner of the Nebraska-South Dakota border as it was surveyed at mid-century. The Chicago and North Western railway runs through the center of the sheet, serving the small settlement of Monowi along Ponca Creek. This map reveals a landscape heavily dotted with rural education and burial sites, including the Beulah Cem and Alford Cem, alongside numerous numbered and named schoolhouses such as Masdon Sch and Pleasant Hill Sch. The terrain is segmented by township and county lines, including the borders of Boyd, Knox, and Holt counties. The density of small school districts, from School No 42 to the Verdel Sch, indicates a period when the rural population was still broadly distributed across the high plains of the Bush and Raymond regions.
