About this map

Hazard and Sweetwater anchor this central Nebraska landscape along the border of Sherman and Buffalo counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Mud Cr, which flows through a network of smaller tributaries including Bloody Run Cr and Spring Br. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Pleasant Valley provides a distinct topographic contrast to the surrounding drainage basins.

Local history and genealogy are well represented by the Hazard Cem situated west of the main settlement. The map reflects a highly organized rural grid system, with roads such as WPA Sherman Ave and Co Rd 15 facilitating movement through the agricultural highlands. The layout of the region demonstrates a long-standing reliance on the valley floors for settlement while the higher plateaus are strictly partitioned into section lines.
