About this map

Cushing sits on a high terrace north of the Loup River valley, serving as the primary settlement where Centre Ave meets Cushing Rd. The surrounding landscape is defined by the deeply incised drainage of Rock Cr, which carved the undulating terrain that dominates the center of the quadrangle. Local genealogy is grounded at the Rock Creek Cem, situated on a ridge between Brady Rd and Rock Cr.

Transport and water management shape the modern character of this Howard County area. The southern edge of the map features the braided channels of the Loup River, while to the west, the Deppen Reservoir provides a managed water source near Eagle Rd. Section lines are strictly followed by a grid of rural routes like Cody Rd and Merrick Rd, illustrating the persistence of early land division across the Nebraska plains.
