1948 Map of School No. 7

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

School No 7 and its counterparts stand as lonely markers of rural education across the high plains of Box Butte County in the mid-1940s. This survey, conducted by the Geological Survey and the Bureau of Reclamation, details a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and expansive land divisions like Nonpareil and Wright. The drainage of the North Branch and South Branch cuts through the terrain, leading toward Berea Creek and the prominent North Point Rocks. The mapping reflects a period of systematic land management and agricultural planning, where the placement of School No 17 and School No 58 highlights the distribution of the farming population before the consolidation of rural school districts. The intricate contouring reveals the subtle draws and ridges that dictated the placement of homesteads and early roadways in this corner of Nebraska.
