About this map

Callaway anchors this Custer County landscape along the winding course of the South Loup River in central Nebraska. The village grid is clearly defined, centered around the Callaway Post Office and providing access to recreational hubs like the Morgan Park Campground and the Callaway Golf Course. The surrounding terrain transitions from the alluvial floor of the Sand Valley to the uplands where local aviation is supported by small facilities like Withuhn Airport and Hoesel Airport.

Genealogists will find this 2011 survey particularly useful for locating regional burial sites, as it identifies Rose Hill Cemetery just south of town, Kingsbury Cemetery to the west, and Fairview Cemetery to the north. These sites, along with the network of rural roads such as Cozad Rd and River Rd, illustrate the long-standing settlement patterns in an area defined by the drainage of Sand Creek, Spring Creek, and Cottonwood Creek.
