About this map

The village of Page serves as the focal point of this late 1950s survey, situated along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy rail line as it traverses the boundary of Holt Co and Antelope Co. The landscape is defined by the rural school district system of the mid-20th century, featuring a high density of one-room schoolhouses such as School No 128, School No 23, and School No 97. A rare notation for School No 138 (Abandoned) offers a specific data point for local historians tracking the consolidation of rural education during this era.

Hydrological features like Verdigre Creek and the Chain Lakes break up the sectioned agricultural plots that dominate the township. Smaller industrial activities are noted by a Gravel Pit, while the township boundaries of Inman and Verdigris delineate the local governance of the period. This map provides a clear picture of the Nebraska plains before modern infrastructure significantly altered the traditional township and range layout.
