1956 Map of Stockville NE

About this map

The dissected tablelands of the Lincoln Co Frontier Co boundary are defined by a complex network of canyons and creeks, including Deer Creek and the deep incision of East Deer Creek Canyon. This 1950s survey documents a rural landscape in transition, characterized by the shifting status of local education. While Ingham Sch remained active near the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, other community hubs such as Mount Hope Sch and Mulberry Ridge Sch were already marked as abandoned. The iron rails of the Burlington route cut a diagonal path across the northern reaches of the quadrangle, serving as the primary infrastructure for this agricultural region. Evidence of early Catholic settlement is found at St Joseph Cem in the northeast, while a modern TV Relay Tower stands as a vertical landmark against the traditional canyon topography of Walker and Russell townships.
