1966 Map of Scribner SW

About this map

Scribner State Airfield anchors the northeast corner of this mid-1960s survey, its expansive perimeter clearly defined by an Airfield Boundary. The surrounding terrain is organized into the rural townships of Ridgeley, Everett, Cotterell, and Maple, showcasing the characteristic Nebraska section-line road grid. Three primary watercourses—Silver Creek, Maple Creek, and Rawhide Creek—meander through the landscape, their winding paths contrasting with the rigid geometry of the agricultural plots. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific community focal points such as St Johns Ch, St Marys Cem, and Maple Grove Cem. The distribution of rural education is preserved through the locations of several district buildings, including School No 90, School No 12, School No 22, and School No 93, providing a record of the area's social infrastructure before the consolidation of many small country districts.
