1956 Map of Stockville SE

About this map

Boston Ridge Sch and other rural schoolhouses dot this landscape in the mid-1950s, highlighting the changing educational geography of Frontier County. The map captures a moment when several local institutions, including Mt Pleasant Sch and Bailey Sch, were already marked as abandoned, reflecting the shift toward larger consolidated districts. Meanwhile, Fairview Sch and Hilltop Sch remained active centers for their respective rural communities. The terrain is defined by deep, dendritic drainage systems like Mitchell Creek and Deer Creek that feed into the larger Medicine Creek valley. A Gaging Station located near the confluence of Medicine Creek and Cedar Creek points to the area's role in the Missouri River Basin development program, documenting water management and hydrology in this agriculturally focused region of Nebraska.
