1958 Map of Wilsonville NW

About this map

Bartley Canal cuts through the northern edge of this landscape, a significant infrastructure marker for the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program in the late 1950s. The terrain transitions from the lowlands of East Valley in the north through the dissected uplands of Logan, Tyrone, and Wilsonville. This 1958 field check documents a rural community in transition, specifically noting the closure of local education hubs such as East Valley Sch (Abandoned) and Plainview Sch No 62 (Abandoned). Genealogists and local historians will find the Tyrone Cem near the southern border, while the winding paths of Silver Creek and Johnson Creek define the natural drainage of the Red Willow and Furnas county line area. The map preserves the exact placement of the small settlement at Logan, providing a precise record of the regional habitation pattern before further 20th-century consolidation.
