1952 Map of Richmond NE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Elm River and its tributary, Willow Creek, dictate the character of this Brown County landscape. This 1952 topography, updated in the late 1970s, captures a rural transition where water management reshaped the plains, evidenced by the Willow Creek Res and the Willow Creek Dam. The prairie is organized into the civil townships of Franklyn, Oneota, Carlisle, and Westport, showing a network of section-line roads connecting family farmsteads and rural infrastructure. A glimpse into the early 20th-century education system is visible through several school sites, including the Union Sch (Abandoned) and Franklyn Sch (Abandoned). These markers, along with the Peck Sch and the Westport Cem, offer essential reference points for genealogists tracing ancestors in the Missouri River Basin development area. Natural artesian features like the Flowing Well and infrastructure such as Kruse Dam further define the local hydrology of the era.
