2014 Map of Ashton

About this map

Ashton serves as the central hub of this Sherman County landscape, situated amidst the complex drainage systems of the eastern Nebraska plains. The village is positioned near the northern edge of the map, where Oak Cr and its tributaries carve through the upland terrain. To the south, the topography descends toward the broad valley of the Middle Loup River, a significant waterway that defines the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the precise grid of section roads, including 787th Rd and Rockville Ave, which connect isolated farmsteads. Genealogists and local historians will find Union Cem located east of the main settlement, a quiet landmark in a landscape defined by the winding paths of Deer Cr and Rock Creek. This 2014 survey documents the modern road network, contrasting Old Highway 92 with the updated route of Ne-92.
