1954 Map of Ord SE

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The North Loup River valley dominates this mid-century survey of Nebraska's farming heartland, showing a landscape defined by its waterways and rail connections. The Union Pacific line cuts through the southern terrain, connecting the settlement of North Loup with the surrounding countryside, while an Old Railroad Grade further north near Sumter and Spelts marks a shift in the region's transport infrastructure. This area, mapped for the development of the Missouri River Basin, reveals a high density of rural education centers, including Springdale Sch, Olean Sch, and Highway View Sch, highlighting the importance of local schools to the distributed agricultural community. Rugged terrain features such as McDowell Canyon and Elm Creek contrast with the flat river valley, where seasonal drainage via Spring Creek and Mira Creek supports the fertile valley floor.
