About this map

The Elkhorn River flows across the northern reaches of this rural Nebraska landscape, defining the topography of Stanton and Cuming Counties during the early 1960s. This agricultural region is structured around several distinct precincts including Kingsburg, Haymow, and Bismarck. The transportation network is anchored by the Chicago and North Western railroad, which parallels the river valley.

Educational and social life is clearly mapped through a series of local landmarks, such as Clinton School and St Matthews Church. The map provides a detailed view of the rural school system of the era, identifying scattered locations like Sherer School, Vogel School, and numbered districts like School No. 47. Tributaries including Humbug Creek and Cedar Creek weave through the sectioned farmland, illustrating the drainage patterns essential to the local economy.
