About this map

The North Loup River carves through the central Loup County landscape, defining the character of this rural Nebraska region. The small settlement of Almeria serves as a local hub, situated near the river's bend and the eponymous Almeria Cem. The surrounding terrain is marked by the broad depression of Dry Valley, which contrasts with the elevated areas reached by Knobby Ridge Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-centered landmarks and community sites across the townships. In addition to the town cemetery, the map identifies the Moulton Cem to the north and Madison Square Cem to the south, the latter located along Madison Square Rd. These burial sites and the established grid of section roads like 830th Rd and Strohl Rd reveal the enduring footprint of early prairie homesteading and agricultural development in the Sandhills region.
