About this map

Thurman and the outskirts of Sidney anchor this 1950s study of the Fremont County landscape, where the terrain transitions from the Missouri River floodplain toward the interior hills. The topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Plum Creek, Camp Creek, and Dutch Hollow Creek, which have carved deep drainages across the townships of Scott, Green, and Sidney.

For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding local landmarks, identifying numerous small family or community burial grounds such as Acord Cem, Lacy Cem, and Parsley Cem. The presence of the Mt Zion Ch. and the Thurman Cem highlights the established social fabric of these rural communities during the mid-20th century. A prominent Levee in the southwest corner indicates the ongoing efforts to manage the river's influence on the agricultural bottomlands.
