1953 Map of Nysted

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Farwell (Posen) and the smaller hamlet of Nysted anchor this mid-century portrait of Howard County, Nebraska, where the agricultural landscape is divided into the townships of Posen, Warsaw, and Dannebrog. The region is defined by its diverse immigrant heritage, preserved on the map through numerous burial grounds including the Czechoslovakia Cem, St Wenceslaus Cem, and Scotch Cem. These sites, along with rural landmarks like School No 18 and School No 13, illustrate the dispersed pattern of early prairie settlement. The physical geography is dominated by the meandering course of Turkey Creek and the Middle Loup River in the southeast, while the Burlington Northern and Union Pacific railroads mark the transportation corridors that historically connected these farming communities to wider markets.
