About this map

Crawford serves as the focal point of this western Nebraska landscape, where the White River winds through a terrain marked by dramatic geological formations. Distinctive landmarks like Red Cloud Buttes, Lovers Leap Butte, and Giants Coffins Butte dominate the central topography, offering a clear picture of the region's unique relief. The town's grid is well-defined, featuring numerous residential streets such as Main St and Elm St, alongside the Crawford Cem to the northeast.

Water management is evident through several regional catchments, including Lake Crawford, Squaw Cr Reservoir, and McDowell Reservoir Number 1. To the west, the winding paths of Smiley Canyon and Smiley Canyon Cr are traversed by the Smiley Canyon Scenic Dr. This area, situated along the Sioux Co and Dawes Co border, illustrates the transition from the structured street plan of the town to the complex drainages of Cherry Cr and Bazile Cr to the south.
