2017 Map of Hemingford

About this map

Hemingford serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Box Butte County, organized around a classic grid of residential streets including Niobrara Ave, Custer St, and Wyoming Ave. The surrounding High Plains terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of Hemingford Cr, Berea Cr, and the branches of Box Butte Creek. Notable for local history and genealogy, the map identifies the Hemingford Cem just outside the village limits and Saint Johns Cem to the southeast. The prominence of Fisher Reservoir and various named canyons, such as South Branch Sand Canyon, highlights the critical importance of water management in this semi-arid region. The landscape is interconnected by a dense network of numbered county roads and named routes like Dodge Rd and Gage Rd, reflecting the established ranching and farming sections of the early 21st century.
