2017 Map of School Number 7

About this map

School Number 7 stands as a central landmark in this portion of Box Butte County, marking a site of local educational history within a landscape of section lines and essential water management. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Berea Cr and the various branches of Point of Rocks Cr, which weave through the high plains. Vital to the agricultural character of the region are the Frost Reservoir and Luce Reservoir, which provide necessary water storage in this semi-arid environment. The map details a strictly organized grid of rural roads, including Keith Rd and Madison Rd, which serve the scattered farmsteads and facilitate movement across the township boundaries of T26N and T25N. This survey documents the intersection of natural hydrology and the human imposition of the Public Land Survey System.
