1939 Map of Seward
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The Big Blue River and its numerous tributaries, including Lincoln Creek and Plum Creek, dictate the layout of central Nebraska during this mid-century period. The county seat of Seward sits at the confluence of these waters, serving as a hub for both the Chicago and Northwestern and Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroads. This network of rails and rivers supported a dense grid of rural education, evidenced by dozens of numbered district schools and named institutions like Marysville Sch and Seward View Sch.
