1951 Map of Oconto SW

About this map

Redfern Table defines the northern landscape of this Nebraska quadrangle, overlooking a network of drainages that carve through the high plains. The transition between the Grant and Gillan townships reveals a rural settlement pattern centered on community landmarks and water access. Local life in the mid-20th century is mapped through its one-room schoolhouses and country churches, including Sunny Hill Sch and Pleasant Valley Ch. The terrain is shaped by the headwaters of several notable streams, such as Spring Creek and the divergent branches of West Buffalo Creek and East Buffalo Creek. To the east, the Wood River winds through the topography, while individual landmarks like the Windmill in the northern section provide specific points of reference for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads along the Custer and Dawson County line.
