1950 Map of Verdigre NE

About this map

The Niobrara River carves a wide valley through the Nebraska landscape, serving as the dominant geographic anchor for this mid-century survey. Along its northern banks, the community of Niobrara sits near the confluence with Verdigre Creek, a region shaped by both its river-bound economy and the presence of the Chicago and North Western railroad. The map reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, particularly the numerous local schoolhouses such as Pleasant Hill Sch, Ponca Sch, and School No 51 that once anchored these prairie townships.
