About this map

The White River and its numerous tributaries, including Smiley Canyon Creek and Soldier Creek, define the topography of this corner of the Nebraska panhandle. The settlement of Crawford serves as a central hub, where residential streets like Paddock St and Elm St transition into a landscape shaped by distinct geologic formations. To the west, the Red Cloud Buttes and notable landmarks such as Lovers Leap Butte and Saddle Rock dominate the horizon, suggesting a terrain of significant vertical relief and complexity.

Water management and local history are evident in the presence of McDowell Reservoir Number 1 and Red Woman Reservoir to the east, alongside the recreational and utility value of Lake Crawford. The map provides genealogical detail with the locations of Crawford Cem and Saint John Cem, while the winding paths of Smiley Canyon Scenic Dr and the Wagon Wheel Trl illustrate the area's network of scenic and historic travel routes.
