1950 Map of Vanville NE

About this map

The prairie landscape of Burke County is defined by the glacial depressions and coulees of the Missouri River Basin development area. Surveyed at the midpoint of the twentieth century, the terrain is marked by significant topographical landmarks like Ward Hill and Little Butte, which overlook a network of seasonal watercourses. The Great Northern railroad cuts through the northeastern corner, following the natural drainage patterns of Ankenbauer Coulee. This map documents a rural educational landscape before school consolidation, preserving the locations of several one-room schoolhouses such as Big Spring Sch, Beck Sch, and Masters Sch. These structures, along with the family-named Martin Lakes and Jensen Lake, provide specific points of reference for genealogists tracing homesteads in the Roseland and Kandiyohi townships.
