About this map

The North Loup River and Middle Loup River converge in the southern reaches of this Howard County landscape, creating a distinct hydrological crossroads just north of St Paul. This mid-century survey reveals a rural society structured around school districts and rural congregations, exemplified by the Fairdale Ch and the presence of numerous schoolhouses. While several facilities like School No 42 (Abandoned) and School No 36 (Abandoned) were already marked as defunct by the time of the field survey, they remain critical markers for genealogical research. Transportation corridors are well-defined by the Union Pacific and the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroads, which parallel the river valleys. Local history is further preserved through the locations of the St Peter Cem, North Cem, and Logan Cem, each serving the surrounding townships of Fairdale and Logan.
