1966 Map of Stanton SE

About this map

The East Fork Maple Creek and Pebble Creek basins define the agricultural landscape of eastern Stanton and Cuming Counties in the mid-1960s. This survey, conducted for the development of the Missouri River Basin, reveals a rural community structured around localized school districts and country parishes. Small social hubs are anchored by St Johns Ch, St Henry Ch, and the adjacent Cem, reflecting the importance of religious life for the farming families of the Haymow and Bismarck areas. The map provides a precise look at the educational network of the time, documenting the locations of School No 32, School No 45, School No 51, and School No 58. These numbered schools and local bridges like BR 1527 offer a detailed record of the early infrastructure before significant rural consolidation altered the Nebraska plains.
