1950 Map of Sparks

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Niobrara River carves a deep path through northern Nebraska, defining the landscape where the Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge and Fort Niobrara Military Reservation converge. This 1950 survey documents a transitional era for the region's transport and land use, showing the Chicago and North Western railroad line passing through Thatcher, south of the river’s winding course. Distinctive landmarks like Tyler Falls, Smith Falls, and the Cornell Dam site illustrate the river's dynamic geography, while the settlement of Sparks stands as a primary hub in the northeast.
