About this map

The Missouri River defines this 1940 survey of the Nebraska-Iowa borderlands, snaking through a wide floodplain where Noddleman Island and Goose Island break the current. On the Nebraska bluffs, a dense network of country schoolhouses like Cottonwood Sch, Jean Sch, and New Hope Sch reflects a rural population at its peak, centered around agricultural hubs like Murray and Nehawka. The landscape is etched with local history, from the Youngs Cem and East Union Cem to the early commercial presence of Sargents Spur along the rail lines.
