1969 Map of Rushville SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Niobrara River carves a winding path through the northern reaches of this Sheridan County landscape, where the flat upland plains drop away into a complex network of canyons and breaks. This 1969 survey captures a rural environment defined by its waterways and isolated landmarks, including the Furman Bridge spanning the river near the northern border. Cultural indicators of the mid-century cattle-ranching era are visible in the scattered improvements, such as the Riverview Sch and a remote Landing Strip positioned on the higher ground between drainage systems. The map details various townships, including Minnetonka and Kinkaid, reflecting the late-homesteading history of the Nebraska Panhandle. Significant water features like Rush Creek and Deer Creek provide the primary geographic structure for this sparsely populated territory, while a solitary Grave serves as a small but poignant genealogical marker of the area's early residents.
