1954 Map of Opportunity

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Redbird Creek meanders through this portion of Holt County, defining a landscape marked by the township structures of Paddock, Scott, and Shields. The settlement of Opportunity serves as a small focal point in the northeast, while the rest of the quadrangle is characterized by a sparse distribution of rural infrastructure. A system of decentralized education is evident through the placement of numerous one-room schoolhouses, including School No 80, School No 62, and School No 127. This 1950s survey reflects the mid-century agricultural character of Nebraska's Missouri River Basin development era, where section lines and windmills dictate the human imprint on the terrain of Willowdale, Grattan, and Antelope.
