1956 Map of Moorefield

About this map

Moorefield sits at a geographic crossroads in Frontier County, where the plains are deeply dissected by the intricate drainage systems of Fox Creek, Medicine Creek, and Deer Creek. This mid-century survey reveals a rural landscape defined by its agricultural community infrastructure, featuring a high density of country schoolhouses such as Bethel Sch, Windy Ridge Sch, and Pleasant Home Sch. The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts through the southern reaches, following the valley of Medicine Creek, while the Curtis Municipal Airport serves as a modern landmark for the neighboring East Curtis area. Significant local history markers include the Moorefield Cemetery and the Pleasant Home Church, reflecting the established social fabric of the Nebraska plains during the post-war era.
