About this map

The Middle Loup River winds through the northeast corner of this landscape, defining the hydrology of the Custer County region. This corridor is characterized by the Milburn Diversion Dam and the associated Rankin Ditch, features that reflect the systematic management of water for Nebraska's agricultural interior. Near the river, the McMillan Ranch and a nearby Airport mark the human footprint on a terrain otherwise dominated by the natural drainage patterns of the Sandhills. These labels provide a record of ranching operations and water infrastructure as they existed in the early twenty-first century, offering a specific look at the rural development along the river's path.
