1956 Map of Quick NE

About this map

Coon Creek winds through the dissected loess plains of Frontier County in the mid-1950s, a landscape defined by its rural township structure and the persistence of the country school system. The map documents a network of local landmarks essential to mid-century rural life, including Ash Grove Sch in Lincoln and South Star Sch in North Star. Genealogists will find particular value in the location of Schoonover Cem, located near the intersection of the Allen and Harrison boundaries. This survey was conducted as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, reflecting an era of systematic topographic documentation in Nebraska.
