1953 Map of Warner

About this map

Warner stands as the primary settlement on this Brown County landscape, surveyed in the early 1950s as part of a Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin. The area is defined by a dense network of country schools, documenting the educational geography of the rural Warner and Rondell townships. These include Sunshine Sch, Happy Valley Sch, and Bright Star Sch, alongside others already noted as Sunshine Sch (Abandoned) and Saul Sch (Abandoned). The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad runs north-south through the terrain, paralleling the winding course of Moccasin Creek. This survey captures a moment when local water management was significant, evidenced by the presence of multiple Flowing Well sites across the prairie.
