About this map

The Nebraska prairie of Valley County is defined by a dense network of local education centers in the mid-1950s. This survey records an era of rural school districts, naming scattered landmarks such as Plain Valley Sch, Clearview Sch, and Brick Sch. The landscape is a mix of agricultural terrain and drainage basins, with Elm Creek, Messenger Creek, and Spring Creek carving through the plains. Numerous Windmill sites are marked throughout the townships, indicating the importance of groundwater for the farmsteads that once populated this region. The map also includes the meeting of several county lines, including the borders of Garfield, Wheeler, and Greeley counties. These features, combined with sites like Noble Sch and Spring View Sch, offer a clear picture of the community infrastructure and land use in the Missouri River Basin during the mid-twentieth century.
