1934 Map of Seward
USGS Topo · Published 1934About this map
Seward serves as the focal point of this 1930s Nebraska landscape, where the Blue River and its branches, including the North Fork Blue River and West Fork Blue River, converge. This era shows a community deeply invested in education and social services, anchored by Concordia Teachers College and specialized institutions like the State Girls Industrial Home and the Old Soldiers and Sailors Home near Milford. The terrain, including the southern reaches of the Bohemian Alps, is crisscrossed by the Chicago Burlington And Quincy and Chicago And Northwestern railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods between rural hubs like Staplehurst, Tamora, and Goehner. The map is a dense record of early twentieth-century rural life, noting numerous numbered district schools such as School No 14 and School No 28, alongside religious landmarks like the Mennonite Ch and St Pauls Ch.
