2023 Map of Belmont

About this map

Belmont stands as a focal point in this northwestern Nebraska landscape, situated near the headwaters of numerous drainages within the Nebraska National Forest. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, ranging from the depths of Rock Canyon to the prominent height of First Woman Mound in the northeast. This 2023 survey illustrates a transition from the wooded heights of the forest to the agricultural drainages of Willow Creek and Big Woman Creek. Local history and family lineages are anchored at the Belmont Cem, while the local road network, including Horseshoe Rd and Breakneck Rd, reveals how the terrain dictates movement through this part of Dawes County. The presence of Dooley Spring and Saw Log Creek further highlights the critical importance of water sources in this high plains environment.
