1954 Map of Wolbach NE

About this map

The Old Indian Reservation Boundary cuts a prominent line across this rural landscape, marking a significant historical border that persists in the 1950s geography of central Nebraska. The terrain is divided into several townships including Logan, Cedar, Spring Creek, and Cottonwood. Settlement patterns are defined by a network of small, local schoolhouses that served the surrounding agricultural community, such as Cloverdale Sch, Star Sch, Fairview Sch, and Olive Sch. The hydrology of the region is dominated by the winding path of South Branch Timber Creek, which provides a focal point for the rolling land. This 1954 field check by the Geological Survey documents a landscape of scattered farmsteads and rural infrastructure, including numerous Windmill sites that highlight the reliance on groundwater for the local homesteads.
