2014 Map of Eddyville NE

About this map

South Loup River bottomlands define the southern reaches of this landscape in Custer County, where the river valley creates a break in the dissected hills of central Nebraska. This 2014 survey documents the small settlements of Buckeye and Burr Oak, providing a record of the rural community structure and agricultural infrastructure in the early 21st century. The map traces the winding courses of several tributaries, including Deer Cr and W Box Elder Cr, which have carved intricate drainage patterns into the loess hills. Local transit and property boundaries are marked by the section-line placement of Sumner Rd and Cumro Rd, reflecting the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the Nebraska prairie. This topographic study captures the relationship between the upland grazing land and the fertile, well-watered soils near Burr Oak Cr.
