1962 Map of Pleasanton NW

About this map

The South Loup River carves a winding path through the heart of Buffalo County in this early 1960s study, defining a landscape of transition between the river bottoms and the surrounding high ground. The small settlement of Sartoria serves as a local anchor along the river's northern banks, while a series of numbered rural schools—including School No 73, School No 45, and School No 80—reveal the distributed nature of the county's educational and social network during this era. The map provides remarkable detail for genealogists, showing the precise locations of farmsteads and field lines across the townships of Sartoria, Loup, Scott, and Rusco. In the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, Rusco Creek and the Peake Cem offer further points of reference for those tracing early families in this agricultural region.
