About this map

Belmont stands as a focal point in this Dawes County landscape, situated near the distinctive Belmont Tunnel and the local Belmont Cem. The area is characterized by a complex network of canyons and high points, most notably Crow Butte and Squaw Mound, which overlook the expansive Nebraska National Forest. A web of drainage systems including White Clay Cr, Saw Log Cr, and Willow Cr carves through the terrain, indicating the vital importance of water sources like Dooley Spring in this high plains environment.

Transport and access are defined by a grid of rural roads such as Squaw Mound Rd and Breakneck Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between Rock Canyon and the surrounding tablelands. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and township boundaries that structured settlement in this part of Nebraska, revealing the intersection of public lands and private holdings during the early 21st century.
