1969 Map of Rushville NE

About this map

Niobrara River flows through the southern reaches of this Sheridan County landscape, anchoring a rural topography defined by the drainages of Rush Creek and Sand Draw. Surveyed in the late 1960s as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, the area maintains a sparse, agricultural character organized by township lines. Rural education sites like Long View Sch and Fairview Sch are documented alongside the prominent landmark of Lone Butte, providing specific points of interest for those tracing the historical footprint of ranching and settlement north of the Niobrara boundary. The map captures the quiet transition between the West Gordon and Rushville districts, where local roads follow the section lines across the high plains terrain.
